A mingle for creative writers will be held Sunday, 10/12, from 3 pm to 5 pm at the Dapper Owl coffee pub. Connect with other writers in a relaxed setting—and even sit down and write for a bit, if you’re so inspired. Come and go anytime. Help us plan by RSVPing on this Google form.
Sponsored by the literary interest group of the Rutherford Arts Alliance, Poetry in the Boro, and MTSU Write, this event is free and open to writers of all genres and experience levels (including “thinking about writing”). We encourage you to make a purchase from Dapper Owl in order to support this local business!
More about the mingle
The main goal of the mingle is for writers of all genres to connect and just hang out! We also hope to learn what the writing community might want for future mingles or events. For this mingle we plan:
an activity corner for quick writing prompt games
a Shut Up and Write space: get a coffee and chat a while, then sit down and write for an hour or so in Dapper Owl's private room!
at 3:45 PM, a short program will be presented by this month’s guest host, Mark Orr. will solicit your questions about writing and publishing, and your ideas for building our local writing scene. Led by Rutherford Lit organizers Taffeta Chime and Kory Wells.
About our October host
Mark will be hosting for us another month soon!
Mark Orr writes scary mystery tales, including two novels and a bunch of shorts stories, along with other stuff. He spent some time as a magazine editor, as well. He currently blogs and plays with his grandchildren.
About the venue and parking
The Dapper Owl coffee pub is located at 2412 East Main St. just past its intersection with Rutherford Blvd., on the east side of the MTSU campus. Overflow parking is on the Arnold Lane side of the building – pull in perpendicular to the building to allow more cars to fit (careful of the AC unit!) or park on the side of road down Arnold Lane (please don’t block any driveways).
