A mingle for creative writers will be held Sunday, 2/8 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.
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 plan:
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 10-15 minute program will be presented by this month’s guest host, Mark Orr. Learn more about Mark below.
depending on interest, an activity corner for quick writing prompt games.
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).
