About this Event
Not every writer wants a stage. Some of us just need a room to feel seen.
The Margins Circle ✨✍🏽 is a curated monthly literary circle for poets, authors, songwriters, and anyone who lives in the margins of a page. We gather in small intimate circles no stages, no pressure, just the work and the people who care about it.
This is your invitation to come as you are unpolished, unfinished, and ready to connect.
Join host Kalea for a free 1-hour introduction to The Margins Circle. Come meet your community, learn what we're building, enjoy ESP Tea & coffee lovely menu & eclectic atmosphere and see if this space feels like yours.
