Adult Writing Club

The Adult Writing Club meets at the Walnut Street West Library every Saturday at 12 PM, and this Saturday, October 24, is no different. It's a weekly drop-in session for adults, which means you don't need to sign up or commit to a full course—you just show up when you feel like it. The club welcomes writers, authors, and poets of any background or genre, so it doesn't matter if you're working on a novel, a collection of poems, or just some scribbles in a notebook.

The format is straightforward: you bring your work and write alongside other writers. If you're in the middle of a project, it's a chance to put in some focused time with other people doing the same thing. If you're not in the writing zone that day, you can spend the hour chatting about where your ideas come from or the parts of the craft that always seem to trip you up. It's as much about the conversation as it is about the page.

They describe the club as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent friendly, and it's open to adults and seniors alike. It's a low-pressure environment, and since it's a drop-in, you can come one week and skip the next without any trouble.

You'll find the Walnut Street West Library at 201 South 40th Street—at 40th and Walnut Streets—in Philadelphia, PA 19104. The club meets Saturdays at 12 PM.
