Join us for our writing sprints! Writing begins at 5:30 p.m. sharp and we use the pomodoro method to keep us focused. This means we write for 25 minutes, take a 5 minute break and then write for another 25 minutes. At 6:30 there's an optional half hour during which you can have others critique your writing, get feedback or just chat with other Charlotteans about writing, reading and more. Space is limited so please RSVP to reserve your spot - and remember to cancel your spot if you can’t come.

Join us for a night of learning with local author Malika J. Stevely!

Malika is a local, published author of the book Song of Redemption: A southern historical saga inspired by true events. She’ll be talking with us about self-publishing an audiobook - a process that is totally different from publishing a physical book. She’ll share the unique challenges and issues you might face as you undergo your own journey.

This event will take place on January 23 from 6:30-8 p.m. at our store location.

The ticket price allows us to pay Malika for her time and expertise, as well as provide light refreshments for the evening. Get your tickets here.

We’re kicking 2026 off with How We Show Up by Mia Birdsong, a nonfiction look at the importance of community and how to foster that in our current world. Birdsong, an activist and writer, shows us that that what separates us isn't only the ever-present injustices built around race, class, gender, values, and beliefs, but also our denial of our interdependence and need for belonging. In response to the fear and discomfort we feel, we've built walls, and instead of leaning on each other, we find ourselves leaning on concrete.

Everyone is welcome, and no RSVP is necessary. Join us in-person at the store or virtually on zoom.
