EVENTS FOR BOSTON AREA WRITERS

  • Wednesday, May 15: Indie Publishing − is it right for you?
  • Monday, May 20: Writers' Night Out at Christopher's
  • Monday, June 10: Open Steering Committee meeting
  • Curious about what goes on at Steering Committee meetings?

    If you would like to witness or contribute to the process of running our NWU Chapter, why not join a Steering Committee (SC) meeting. If you have a project you want to initiate or some expertise to share, please come and tell us about it. You can even participate by speakerphone. All members are enthusiastically welcome and while you cannot vote, the SC would love to have your input. An added benefit is that some of us often go out for an inexpensive meal afterwards, so it is an opportunity to hang out informally with fellow members.

    WHAT: Steering Committee Meetings

    WHEN: Second Monday of every month, 5:30-7:30 pm

    WHERE: Emerson College, 180 Tremont St . (12th floor), across the street from the Boylston T stop and near the public parking garage below the Boston Common.

    NOTE: We need to know in advance that you're attending, so that we can add your name to the front desk security guard's "admit list" or give you instructions for joining us by speakerphone.

    REMINDER: SC meeting minutes are posted on the members-only page of our website.

    Writers' Night Out: Social/networking evening

    Our periodic gatherings (usually the third Monday of the month, but watch this page for exact dates) are taking place at CHRISTOPHER'S at 1920 Massachusetts Avenue in Porter Square between 6 and 8 p.m. Drop in for some or all of the time (see directions). Meet and chat with NWU colleagues in a fun, relaxed atmosphere, where you can buy tasty, reasonably priced nibbles and drinks and take a break from the computer (or pencil and pad or papyrus scroll).

    Union social events are always a pleasant gathering of the tribes -- a place where people truly relate to each other's tales of the joys and terrors of the writing life. Our last several get-togethers were fun for all, and some useful networking actually happened. Ask the host to direct you to the National Writers Union table.

    There's metered parking on Mass Ave. Cambridge permit parking on side streets. The Porter Square shopping area parking lot is officially off-limits except for customers of the market and shops like Porter Square Books. (The police watch people who park cars there to see where they go.) We look forward to seeing you there!
