Attend a Reading

It's scary to be in a room full of strangers and not quite know what is going to happen. Imagine being the author.

Go. Listen. Applaud.

Organize a Reading

Invite some friends to your home, book a

table for 8 at a cozy restaurant, or meet in the

park. Read from your own work (it doesn't have to be published!) or invite authors you know to share theirs.

Start a Blog, Facebook Page, or

Your Own Group

Establish a landing space for like-minded individuals on whatever social platform you prefer. Book one hour per month at the local library to meet other writers and readers. If you've been looking for a place to belong, it's time to create it yourself.
