Short story enthusiasts will meet on Wednesday nights between 7:30 and 9:30 at Emerson Prep., located a block and a half off of Dupont Circle. We will discuss a broad range of stories, including those suggested by memebers. In order to establish a framework that encourages intellectual discussion, we will also explore the history, evolution and conventions of short stories.
We will also participate in short writing exercises periodically.

“This is a great group! I haven't attended recently due to conflicts with my work schedule but I will make a way to start attending regularly. I found the critiques to be very helpful and constructive as I fought through the battlefield of prose.”
