Tacoma Reads & Tacoma Writes with Creative Colloquy
Creative Colloquy facilitates a book chat centered around Children of the Land by Marcelo Hernandez Castillo. Immediately following the book discussion we will segue into a writer’s workshop challenging the group to explore some of these themes in their own writing.
Participants are encouraged to submit their finished pieces inspired by this workshop for publication onto the Creative Colloquy literary site. A follow up reading highlighting those that are featured on the site will take place at date to be announced.
Registration is required. We will email the Zoom link to you 1 hour before the event begins.
