What is the roundtable?
Sometime in January of 2019, CF started thinking about how the best part about art is the togetherness of it all. She was acutely aware of how much writing can suck, especially when you're writing alone. After reaching out through various grapevines, a group of writers was assembled and met once a month at a bar or coffee shop to write together and talk about writing together. Since then, it's become an invitation-only, once-a-week affair that includes writing prompts, discussions about what narratives we're contributing to, sharing work for feedback, and some really great book recommendations. Writers listed on this website are our "regulars", but the group includes a rotation of about 10 or so other people who come when they can.
