Join the CLA community of writers, artists, editors, and composers in a virtual gathering.
About this Event

Would you enjoy meeting CLA members and friends from around the U.S. and beyond?

Would you enjoy hearing about more publication opportunities from a community of Writers of Faith?

Join us for a social hour of introductions and camaraderie at one of CLA’s Spring Happy Hours. Conducted via Zoom and moderated by Maura Harrison, the sessions will invite participants to share about recent publications, upcoming calls for entries, and opportunities for collaboration and/or critique. To get everyone talking, each Happy Hour will have a general topic for discussion. Then we’ll see where the topics lead us.
