Writers & Illustrators (& those too hesitant to call yourself either . . .)

Let's meet and chat! Writers, illustrators and those who participate as creators and consumers at all levels of the creative process.

Let’s Meet! Writers, illustrators, book sellers, librarians, and lovers of young adult and children’s literature are welcome to join us on Monday, February 20th, between 6:30pm - 8:30pm for some casual conversation about writing and illustration in a convenient & fun location.

You are welcome to bring writing samples, art samples or just show up to connect with local writers and illustrators at the Boys & Girls Club of Wakefield’s Teen Room located in the Americal Civic Center at 467 Main Street in Wakefield, MA. Coffee, tea and something for your sweet tooth will be provided. Hope to see you there!

This event is free but you are welcome to bring your favorite young adult or children’s book along to donate to the Wakefield Club’s library.
