Join us for a super special Shut Up and Write in Los Feliz!

This will be our opening party with a welcome from LA Poet Laureate Brian Sonia-Wallace & other surprises.

Join us for a personal essay writing workshop!

In this workshop, you’ll learn: (1) what makes a great personal essay, (2) how to pitch your essay to editors at publications, (3) what makes a pitch stand out to editors. You’ll also write a scene from your personal history!  

Join us on Friday, July 21st at 8PM for a showcase of Los Feliz’ finest musical and literary artists.

Two poets, two pop stars, one night only. There are worlds being born.

We want you to watch.

Join us for a free workshop to cultivate your writing and your delicious self.

In this workshop, we’ll explore how to write with greater authenticity, bravery, and depth while celebrating and developing your unique writing style that could not belong to anyone else… not even AI!

Join us for an immersive creative writing workshop that invites you to explore taste and scent as unexpected catalysts for creative inspiration.

Through a curated series of flavors and aromas, writers will discover how sensory experiences can evoke atmosphere, emotion, character, place, memory, and vivid inner worlds.

Join us for “Tarot for Writers” – an interactive workshop exploring tarot as a tool to unlock self expression and re-enchant craft for writers and creatives. No prior knowledge of tarot is necessary. Bring your notebooks and an open spirit!

Want to release poems on Bandcamp; read your novel on Patreon; or produce a play as a podcast?

We will explore how form & sound design shape the written word & developing your writing for audio.

Join us to celebrate the Voices of Los Feliz and zine Radically Human.

Bring a picnic, a blanket, and friends, and come meet under the stars at the beautiful Barnsdall Art Park and meet the local writers who live in Los Feliz as they read from our zine.

To celebrate our celebration, join us at Tabula Rasa for an after-party that’s actually a post-life birthday party for Allen Ginsberg, Frank O’Hara, and Harper Lee!

All three would have turned 100 this year!

Happy 100th Birthday!

Join local Writers of Color for performances and an honest conversation about protecting and celebrating your authentic voice.

Together, the panel will explore the ways in which POC writers are currently silenced and how to make change.
