After a month of furious novel-ing, you’re invited to join your fellow writers and the local Ottawa event coordinators to celebrate a month well spent at our “Thank Goodness It’s Over” Party! Come join in for games, prizes, socializing, and more!

Every year in November, writers of all shapes, sizes, and genres come together to tackle National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). With a goal of writing 50,000 words in 30 days, the event challenges both aspiring and experienced novelists to prioritize putting pen to page to see what they can accomplish.

Find out more about NaNoWriMo here! 

Join author Michael F. Stewart for an evening of shared writing, support, and constructive criticism from peers. No experience necessary, all forms of writing welcome.

Share the pleasure of reading and discussing books ranging from the classics to the contemporary, but mostly fiction, in a relaxed atmosphere

(If the first Monday of a month falls on a Civic Holiday, the book club will be postponed to the following week)
