Writers Who Read

The December book for Writers Who Read is Jesmyn Ward‘s 2023 novel, Let Us Descend.
Every month we dissect a novel written within the past 18 months with the purpose of understanding how the author did what they did, so that we can learn new techniques to apply to our own writing. Podcasts of past novels are here.

Currently at BWA – Creative Writer’s Critique Group

Rolin Geronsin and Christopher Macor are the new organizers of BWA’s Creative Writer’s Critique Group Meetup. Join Rolin and Christopher at the Boulder Public Library for their critique group, but please RSVP in advance on our meetup site, as space is limited.

Sample BWA Presentation

BWA presentations are made available exclusively to members for their future reference. Here’s a recent example from a BWA meeting in March of 2019:
