The Writers’ Salon will gather again in Kita Kamakura this month, a get-together of working writers, published authors, bloggers, journalists, editors, book reviewers, all those for whom writing is central to their lives, to check in on how the writing is going, talk about what’s happening in the publishing world, and share talk of the travails of a writer’s routine. This is an opportunity to catch up with old friends, connect with new people, share your recent accomplishments, and talk about what you’re working on at present. This is not a writing critique group, but a simple gathering of writers taking a break from work. 

If the conversation lags, which it rarely does, it would be interesting to hear from those attending what they are reading now, what they want to be reading, and importantly, what they are willing to pay to read. This is a question that emerged from September’s quite lively discussion about the problems with, and benefits of, non-traditional publishing, i.e., online/subscriber and/or self-publishing, with several of the attendees having active Substack newsletters. 

Non-members welcome
