Writers’ Night Out

Jan 15, 2026 | Writers' Night Out

Writers’ Night Out in Lebanon is a fun group of local Upper Valley writers who gather to share their work with one another. Right now, we meet on the **second Tuesday of each month from 6-8 pm at AVA GALLERY on the 2nd floor in the Johnson Sisters Library. Writers from all genres are currently in the group (memoir, creative nonfiction, fiction, flash fiction, sci-fi, etc.), and everyone is welcome to join us. We are affiliated with the NH Writers’ Project but are open to all attendees, members or not. **It is possible our group will evolve into meeting twice a month in 2026.

Our format is as follows: after introductions for new attendees, we give everyone (starting with returning attendees) a chance to share a piece they have written, and, unless they do not want feedback, we follow that with a discussion about the piece. You are not required to share; if this is your first time, or if you do not have anything you want to read right now, you are always welcome to come listen to and discuss the writing of others. As always, if you do plan to share something, we ask that you keep the section you plan to share relatively short, ideally to a few pages that you could read within about 8-10 minutes (though we can stretch that at times when the group is small).
