Welcome to The Creative Writing Cafe Meetup. Our group strives to be a friendly, inspirational, and safe place dedicated to fostering creativity among writers of novels, poetry, plays, screenplays, short stories, non-fiction. Offering feedback or sharing your work is optional.

\\\*Because space is limited, members who RSVP and don’t show without canceling RSVP, or members who are inactive 3 months or more, will be gently removed from the list to make room for new members who want to attend. This is not a “ban” and you may rejoin at any time.

Whether you're a seasoned artist or simply someone who loves to be inspired by the art of writing, our community is here to encourage and celebrate creativity.

The Creative Café is FREE but any purchase to help support the Sleeping Cat Bakery (160 7th Ave., between 19th and 20th Street) is appreciated, so come join us and participate with a book, a cup of coffee, something savory or a slice of pie in the company of fellow travelers!

Latecomers welcome, come and go as you please.
