Hey, everyone.
On Wednesday afternoons,
3:30 – 5:30 p.m., throughout the month of November, a whole warren of writers
will gather at the Burlington Central Library to bang out novels, short stories,
memoirs – wild words of all sorts – and to swap advice, encouragement, and
tales of the writing life. And you're invited. Come for one Wednesday or for all
of them. And, yes, it’s absolutely free.

details here.
