DENVER WRITERS FORUM: Kurt Vonnegut's Rules of Writing

Calling all storytellers, scribblers, and sentence sculptors. Join us for an evening of literary insight and creative exchange at our upcoming writers forum, where we’ll dive into Kurt Vonnegut’s Rules of Writing. Whether you’re a fan of his wit, his wisdom, or just curious about how to “make your reader care,” this discussion promises to spark ideas and challenge conventions.

What’s on the docket:

• A guided discussion of Vonnegut’s iconic writing principles
• Examples from his fiction and how they apply to your own work
• Open-floor conversation: bring your own writing questions, dilemmas, or breakthroughs
• A welcoming space for writers of all genres and experience levels

Whether you’re revising your fifth novel or sketching your first short story, come connect with fellow writers, share your voice, and leave with new tools for the page.

Let’s talk craft, creativity, and the chaos of writing—Vonnegut style.

Our forum meets every fourth Thursday. It’s an open discussion of writing, editing, and publishing issues that participants bring to the table. We’ll discuss Elmore Leonard’s Rules of Writing on February 19, 2026.
Note: We get free validated parking in the garage at 3847 North Downing Street.
