Friends of Westport Library’s Annual Summer Paperback Sale

This is a drop-in writing group that supports writers of all levels. Membership is free, open to the public, and is appropriate for writers aged 18 and older.Our definition of writer: If you can put words to paper or keyboard, then you are a writer. Your experience of your first day of kindergarten, work, or coaching your nephew's tee ball team is yours to tell. We all have stories, opinions, and unique points of view. Writers share them by crafting stories, poems, comics, memoirs, and a dozen other mediums! We look forward to sharing stories with you!The group is primarily prompt-driven. We’ll introduce a prompt and write to it on the spot. At times, we may offer a writing exercise or “assign” a prompt to be written on one’s own time and brought back to share the following month.
