The Salon Book Club
|
In the Salon book club, we read books about writing. Very meta, we know. We've read Anne Lamott, Samuel Delany, bell hooks, Amy Tan, Ursula Le Guin, Kurt Vonnegut with Suzanne McConnell, Ernest Hemingway, Donald Maass, Roy Peter Clark, Mary Oliver, Michael Kardos, and Matthew Salesses.
Rather than discuss once, we read and practice with one book over ten weeks to explore how to bring the author's insights into our own writing. But this summer, we're changing it up by revisiting some of our favorite books and themes. Each week, we have some exercises (all found here) to apply to new or existing work, and when we gather, we'll talk about how it went and share our work for discussion. We are meeting on the following dates, with the following themes, from 11am - 12:30pm in person and virtual so join however suits you.
All members welcome, no need to sign up, just show up (and ideally take a peak at what's in store for that day, not a requirement but helpful!) It's encouraged to stick with the group for the duration, but totally understandable if schedule changes mean missing one or two. |
