Join us for a good old-fashioned Parisian salon…in Jersey City!

Once a month we gather to do a deep dive into a famous, not-so-famous, or even notorious short work of fiction. Our salon is a guided discussion intended to deepen our collective understanding of effective storytelling.

What you need to know:

• All short pieces for the salon are published pieces. Unpublished works are for JCW workshops.
• Please read the story before the salon! We will NOT be reading it out loud.
• We will NOT be providing printouts. Feel free to bring your own.
• Wine and beer only. Please no spirits.
• We would love a donation but it’s not mandatory to attend.
• All writers are welcome. All writers are to be respected. Be kind.

Monthly Schedule for Tuesday:

• 1st Tuesday of the Month: JCW Short Story Salon

We give the salon treatment to a famous, not-so-famous, or even notorious short work of fiction every month.

• 2nd Tuesday of the Month: Roundtable Workshop

Constructive criticism of unpublished work from JCW members. MUST SUBMIT IN ADVANCE.

• 3rd Tuesday of the Month: Power Prompts

Constrained writing at its quirkiest.
