What we’re about
We're a support network for Houston independent authors to socialize and gain insights into the business and marketing aspects of indie publishing. We're not focused on any one genre or way to write, and we welcome indie, trad, and hybrid authors at any stage of their career.
Though our focus is primarily social, our monthly meetup will include an education portion with professional speakers (marketers, editors, book designers, other authors with strategy insights, etc.).

See all- Writers Lunch: Genre Bending and BlendingLink visible for attendees
Genres are generally thought of as distinct boxes to help us categorize works of fiction. But what happens when we step outside of the box and create fiction that blends elements from several genres into something new? Join A.P. Hawkins on Writers Lunch for a discussion about fiction that defies genre!
A.P. Hawkins is a biologist turned speculative fiction author based in Houston. Her short fiction has appeared in various fiction magazines and anthologies, including Analog Science Fiction & Fact Magazine and “The Librarian”, an anthology from Air and Nothingness Press. A.P. cohosts Writers Lunch, a weekly writing workshop where topics range from worldbuilding to tropes to time travel paradoxes. She’s also a co-founder of Tomeworks, an editing collective that helps genre writers build better books, and a first reader at Hexagon, a magazine for speculative fiction. When she’s not writing or editing, A.P. dabbles in gaming, cosplay, baking, crafting, and painting minifigures for TTRPGs.
