Welcome to the Summer of Love Tour, where Washington Writers’ Publishing House is bringing authors all over the DMV to celebrate our new mini-anthology, Capital Love. These writing salons will reflect the intention of Capital Love, which is the belief that love is the antidote to hate and that love is action, intent, healing, and hope. This event is designed to introduce you to the Washington Writers’ Publishing House community and to raise up our collective voices in literary solidarity.
What to expect in the 2-hour literary salon:
- A FREE writing workshop led by Tonee Mae Moll, author of You Can Not Save Here
- Readings from Barbara Diehl, S. Shaw, Laura Shovan, and Christina Taub
- Limited open mic (5-minute time slot per reader)
- Hosted by Caroline Bock and Jona Colson
All events are free and open to the public.
