Hi there!
Hope you are well! Can you believe it’s November?!
We had a blast at PorchFest LA! Thanks all who came and enjoyed and performed! 
Wanted to share about (1) updates for the Los Feliz Writers Festival 2026, (2) our weekly writing session, and (3)some cool writer events happening in our community.
1. Los Feliz Writers Festival 2026
We have chosen the date for the next festival! Save the date for August 21-23, 2026!
In January, we will start having monthly planning committee meetings on the first Wednesday of every month from 5:30pm to 6:30pm before our weekly Shut Up and Write at the Alcove. If you are interested in joining, please respond to this email and I’ll add you to the email list!
2. Weekly Events
Wednesdays, 6:30pm to 8:30pm, The Alcove, Los Feliz
We’ve done four Shut Up and Write in Los Feliz at the Alcove, and it’s been great. It’s lovely to see the same people each week and to write and hang out together.
We arrive around 6:30pm and get our food, around 7pm we check in and then write (or any type of work – even writing emails or coding!) for 1 hour until 8pm! Then we check out, and then hang out.
You’re always welcome! Come when you can. Email me if you want me to send you a reminder every week!
Can sign up on meetup too or just show up.
3. November Events
There are some awesome events happening in November by people in our Los Feliz Writers community!

If you’d like to share an event or resource with the community or if you’d like to be listed on our Los Feliz Writers database, please email me. Trying to send out an email once a month as life allows :P.
Please forward this to any of your friends that may find it valuable and please let me know if you don’t find this valuable and want to be removed from the list.
Thank you!
