Welcome to The Book Works’ blog!
The Book Works was established in 1976 by its founding owner, Milane Christiansen. An independent bookstore, The Book Works specializes in new books with a focus on literary fiction, nonfiction, science, memoir, art architecture, cookbooks and gardening, children’s books. It carries an eclectic selection of fine stationery, cards, journals, gift items, vintage pottery (Bauer), and garden statuary. In 2006, Lisa Stefanacci purchased The Book Works, and the tradition continues.
Is anyone out there interested in forming a serious prose writers’ group? I write essays and memoir and would like to form a group starting this fall. I suggest meeting perhaps every two weeks or every month, membership of perhaps six people — with agreed-upon ground rules for critique, and a commitment of 6 mos. to start off. By “serious” I mean writers with a planned book project or continuous writing in hand. No beginners, please. I’ve been in a group before, gained much, and am now looking to branch out.
Please let me know if you’re interested. Thanks1
