The Salon Book Club
In the Salon book club, we read books about writing, like Anne Lamott and Samuel Delany and Stephen King. Very meta, we know.
Rather than discuss once, we read and practice with one book over eight to ten weeks. Beginning in October, we will be reading Remembered Rapture by bell hooks and meeting on these dates:
We meet every other Sunday to talk and play with prompts, taking time to digest and integrate nuggets into our writing. 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 or email us to get in on the Google group (email hello@dcwriterssalon.com). To get a taste of Book Club, here is a collection of quotes and exercises from our last two books: Anne Lamott's Bird By Bird and Samuel Delany's About Writing. |
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:
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).

Some answers to frequently asked questions about Finishers' Group:
Finishers' Groups start at the beginning of each quarter.
- You absolutely don’t have to be write a whole book or screenplay, but decide what success is. (e.g. 2 short stories OR 5 essays or poems OR a book proposal, etc.)
- You certainly don’t have to be able to attend all dates since life happens but great if you can. Only caveat is that if you join a group and drop out, other than for an emergency, you likely won't be invited back into a group.
- There are three groups - Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. You stick with your group's day but you can most certainly come to any other Salon outside of your group if you ever have to miss Finishers.
