Almonte Readers & Writers invites you to get cozy with literature in 2024
Calling all literature lovers and story creators! Almonte Readers & Writers (ARW) is excited to announce a roster of community events and educational opportunities for January, February, and March 2024.
These new programs offer great opportunities for writers to get feedback on their work and grow their network. ARW’s Creative Director Jessie Carson says, “writing, like reading, is often thought of as a solitary pursuit. But, to become better writers or broaden our literary horizons as readers, having a community that challenges and encourages us to grow is invaluable.”
