Adult Programs

Penn Hills Writers' Group

Penn Hills Writers' Group meets the first and third Thursdays of the month from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We start each session with a ten to fifteen minute free write based on a prompt. Then those who have brought work to share pass out copies, read it to the group, and receive feedback. Most members are working toward publication at some point in the future, and some members have been published already.

We welcome writers at all stages of their writing journey. Please feel free to contact us at gossamer@earthling.net.
