DC WRITERS' SALON

New To The Salon?

We're always enthused to welcome new writers to the Salon community. Here are answers to the questions we're often asked.

Be Our Guest
  • We invite you to come try a Salon or two to see if it's a fit for you.
  • No need to RSVP or do anything other than find a Salon on the calendar that works for you and show up.
  • Come to the start of a Salon so the host can give you a "tour" (and you can get snacks!)
  • Salons are all about solo writing in community, so bring only yourself and whatever you write with.
  • And plan to stay for the full two-hour Salon. 
  • After your visit, tell us about your experience.
