Summer Book Club for Writers
Join our summertime meeting on July 28!
Happy July, friends! 🧨 Summer Writing Nights began last week, and our first meeting still has me feeling energized. More than 60 of you signed up to take part in this summer-long, Wednesday night co-writing group to work on your novels, short stories, essays, newsletters, and more!
Want to join in? It’s not too late to sign up: $30 for the whole summer. You’ll receive the Zoom link within 24 hours of signing up.
BOOK CLUB FOR WRITERS MEETS THIS MONTH!
I’d love to have you at the next Book Club for Writers meeting! This is a group for writers of all skill levels and backgrounds, where we only read books about writing and creativity.
We’ll meet live on Zoom on Sunday, July 28, 1:00-2:30PM EST to discuss Jami Attenberg’s newest book, 1000 Words: A Writer’s Guide to Staying Creative, Focused, and Productive All Year Round.
Why I selected this book: Since 2018, longtime writer Jami Attenberg has been running 1000 Words of Summer, an annual writing challenge. Participants write at least a thousand words a day for two consecutive weeks. Jami’s new book extends the spirit of 1000 Words of Summer far beyond the summertime.
In addition to discussing the book during our meeting, we’ll work through a few prompts together, so come prepared to do some writing!
How do I log onto the book club meeting?
Paid subscribers can access the Zoom link below the paywall at the bottom of this email.
If I come to the book club meeting, do I have to stay the whole time?
Not at all! Arrive late, leave early—whatever you need to do. There’s never any pressure to turn your camera or mic on, so if you’d like to pop in just to listen, feel free.
Do I have to read the whole book in order to participate?
You’ll still be able to take part in our discussion, particularly our writing exercises, if you haven’t read the book.
I can’t make it to the meeting! Will a recording be available to watch later?
A recording of our book club discussion will be available for paid subscribers to watch after our meeting. However, if you can make it live, please do! Our discussion depends on live attendees.
Can I invite my friends?
I’d love nothing more! Anyone can join the club for the month of July for just $5 (cancel anytime: seriously!), or subscribe for the whole year and save 17%. Learn more here.
What’s the next book club selection?
We’re meeting again in October to discuss Tina Welling’s book Writing Wild: Forming a Creative Partnership with Nature.
