Reading about Writing Book Club

Service Description

Doesn't matter if you think you're a writer or not, come join us in this virtual book club if you feel like it and share what you think about the month's book pick. Please support the indie bookstore The Frugal Frigate by purchasing your copy through them; they offer 15% off for all book clubs and can ship if needed: https://www.frugalfrigate.com During this hour together, we'll discuss everything from our general impressions to the specific ideas, strategies, and advice shared in each book (see below for the specific questions). Each meeting is $10, and you sign up for one at a time (the registration process on this site is a little strange-looking at first). ⏰ READING SCHEDULE (some dates are TBD) ✏️ OCTOBER: On Writing by Stephen King on Sunday, October 27th at 3:30 pm EST ✏️ NOVEMBER: The Creative Act by Rick Rubin ✏️ DECEMBER: Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life by Dani Shapiro 📚 PAST BOOK CLUB PICKS - JUNE: Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg - JULY: Writing on Empty by Natalie Goldberg - AUGUST: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert - SEPTEMBER 29: The Art of Memoir by Mary Karr 👥 GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1.

I'd love to hear your suggestions, or if you have any questions or if the fee to join would be cost-prohibitive and you'd like to request a fee waiver, just email me at authorkatieallen@gmail.com and I look forward to connecting with you more soon! Finally, please note that the fee for this book club is non-refundable for any reason; this is due to the high number of past requests that I used to honor but which began to take up so much time that I had to update this policy.
