The Salon Book Club

By popular demand, introducing a book club unlike any other.

In the Salon book club we read books about writing, like Natalie Goldberg and Stephen King. Very meta, we know.

Rather than discuss once, we read and practice with one book over eight weeks. We are currently reading About Writing by Samuel Delany and meeting on these dates:

• July 12th, 11 - 12:30pm, Reading through On Pure Storytelling (p 94)
• July 26th, 11 - 12:30pm, Reading through Part One (p 148)
• August 9th, 11 - 12:30pm, Reading through Part Two (p 206)
• August 23rd, 11 - 12:30pm, Reading through A Silent Interview (p 309)
• September 6th, 11 - 12:30pm, Reading through Nits, Nips, Tucks and Tips

We meet every other Sunday to discuss and play with prompts, practicing with the insights of the book. It's encouraged that you try to come to all meetings, but totally understandable that's not always possible. And no need to sign up, just show up (right now virtually, of course). All members and passes welcome.

Future book suggestions and discussion ideas very welcome hello@dcwriterssalon.com. To get a taste of Book Club, here is a collection of quotes and prompts from our last book, Anne Lamott's Bird By Bird.
