You’ve wanted to show your writing to people for some time, but your friends don’t understand poetry and your grandma thinks your grocery lists are all masterpieces. Where do you get quality feedback and help with your writing?

seveneightfive magazine hosts a bi-weekly writers’ workshop as a way to get area writers together to share their work and talk about writing. Meetings sometimes involve a writing exercise, a guest speaker or a bottle of raspberry mead, but they always have plenty of coffee from Blackbird Cafe and quality writing discussion.

The workshop "regulars"

All genres are welcomed and discussed, with the opportunity for everyone to learn more. Meetings are 6 to 8 p.m. at Warehouse 414, and happen every other Monday starting Oct. 4. The $20 fee covers copy costs and the cost of creating a member chapbook to coincide with a December group reading. With a 15-writer cap, space is limited. Anyone interested in joining should contact organizer Leah Sewell: leah@seveneightfive.com
