A mingle for creative writers will be held Sunday, March 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).

About This Month’s Host
Reagan Lichtenwalter is an 18-year-old poet in their final year of high school here in Murfreesboro. They started writing in the 5th grade at the behest of a school teacher, and over the years, their craft has grown and evolved just as much as they have thanks to the support of their local creative community. They're a frequent flyer at the Poetry in the Boro open mic, and their work has so far been featured in Elan Student Literary Magazine and in the upcoming A Place for All Voices anthology. Beyond writing poetry and short fiction, they prefer to spend their time out in nature or playing Dungeons and Dragons with their friends.
