About Just Write!

Writer's Circle is a monthly write-in session for writers of all genres, hosted by Carol Oles. Think of it as your gym buddy for wordplay — a supportive space to keep your writing practice going.

Whether you're working on poetry, prose, a blog, a memoir, or anything else, bring your project and enjoy an hour of dedicated writing time with fellow writers. This is a no-critique zone focused on getting words on the page.

Session Format

  • Quick check-in on projects (7:15 PM)
  • One hour of heads-down writing time
  • Q&A addressing writing challenges
  • Snacks provided · BYOB welcome
  • Sessions wrap up around 8:45 PM

Your Host
