To mark this midsummer month, we invite you to a SWET-wide Summer Party combining forces with the SWET Writers’ Salon. Taking advantage of a congenial venue in a central Tokyo location, wordsmiths are invited to gather, catch up with old friends, connect with new people, share recent accomplishments, and talk about what we’re working on at present. 
     Food and drink will be available from the Book House Café (see the Café menu) or may be brought in (purchased items only, please). Non-SWET members welcome.
