What we’re about
That stories have consequences is at the heart of this bimonthly writing salon open to writers of all levels, working across all genres, fiction and nonfiction. We gather from around the world for philosophical conversations on writing in light of the mythopoetic writing theory Universal Grammar of Story™ developed by Dr. Hazel Denhart. In these salons we contemplate the ancient writer archetype, essential components of storytelling, and how to gracefully navigate writer’s block. We also consider the responsibility we have to our readers and audiences by recognizing that like our grown children our stories must leave us for the wider world where they influence others. Writers are the cultural scouts guiding society along the uncharted edges of an increasingly dangerous social frontier.
The salon is free to all with a suggested donation of $5.00 for those with the means to do so to help cover the Meetup and Zoom expenses.
All participants can find complementary chapters from Universal Grammar of Story and the companion workbook at the Invisible Press online store. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for sample copies

The Power of the First Word
Location not specified yetThis will be the final event for this Meetup which will close next week (Jan 13th). This event is hosted by the Historic Library of Columbus from the remote desert of New Mexico. The enchantment of that land will reach across the digital space to all of us.
Because this Meetup is scheduled to close before the event, you can stay up-to-date through Dr. Hazel's website or her Substack. Here's the library's Zoom link.
Event:
Your success in any story hangs on the strength of a single word: the defining adjective for the protagonist. Its antonym then defines the antagonist. Together, these two words form the Unity of Opposites, a 3,000-year-old theory. This presentation will teach you how to choose the perfect first word that sets it all in motion using the Universal Grammar of Story® writing method.
