About us

Spires & Gargoyles is a literary community in Rockville for the curious, creative, and delightfully weird.

We’re writers, readers, poets, aspiring novelists, chronic notebook-fillers, people with half-finished manuscripts lurking on their laptops, and anyone else who would rather talk about books than make small talk.

Join us for writing nights, readings, drinks, book discussions, workshops, open mics, and other forms of literary mischief around Rockville and Montgomery County.

Despite the gargoyles, you do not need to write horror or fantasy to join us. All genres, styles, and literary inclinations are welcome—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir, experimental work, and things that stubbornly refuse to fit into a category. Readers and generally bookish people are equally welcome. You don't need to be published, have an MFA, or even know what you're working on yet.

Bring something you're writing, something you're reading, or just yourself.

Come write strange things with us.
