NaNoWriMo Underground

It’s that time of year again. No, not not the holidays–silly; National Novel Writing Month!

This year Underground Writers Unite will be hosting weekly workshops to aid in the marathon writing process that is NaNoWriMo. Do you have what it takes to write 50,000 words in 30 days? Forget about Thanksgiving, Black Friday and all other material trappings of modern American culture and do something that will bring you greater joy and accomplishment than any deal on a new TV or Tickle-Me Elmo.

Join us for weekly help and motivation at Underground Writers Unite in Downtown Riverside every Tuesday night at 7pm.

Inland Empire Poets

If you are a poet serious about improving your craft, then the group can provide you with critical readers who love poetry, understand what it takes to write and submit work to criticism because they are writers themselves, but who are also rigorous and precise in their criticisms and suggestions.

The  group meets every Wednesday (except on holidays) beginning at 7 pm and usually meets until 9 pm. The group welcomes all types and levels of poets: beginners and veterans, formalist and free verse, experimental and performance. Currently, the group meets in the outdoor seating area outside the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in downtown Riverside: 3712 Mission Inn Avenue (between Main and Market Streets)

If you wish to workshop your poem, you must bring 12-14 copies of your poem to hand out.

For any additional information check out the workshop homepage at IEpoets
