Writers Who Read is a group of writers who meet monthly to use Literary Forensics to dissect recent novels for the purpose of uncovering how the author has utilized their skills for effect. Storytelling is an art, but it’s not a mystery.
The months we meet it’s on the 1st Sunday at 4pm, somewhere near Downtown Boulder, Colorado. Upcoming meetings are listed below.
