Writing a novel? Working on a chapbook? Developing scenes in a screenplay? Join the Author Cohort!

Whether you are a brand-new writer or a seasoned veteran, you will get the support you need to bring your work to life this November, with in-person and online opportunities this year.

If you’ve been wanting to focus in, draft a new novel, or work with a serious, like-minded group, this is your chance. The full list of activities is below.

After you’ve reviewed the schedule, make your pledge and join us this fall. You don’t have to attend every meeting, but by signing up, you are making a commitment to your writing in November.

You are going to do great things, and we are here to help you along the way.

Sign up to make your pledge to yourself to write more this fall.
