The Craft Book Club is a reading group that will focus on critical thinking and discussion around the writer’s craft. Where do they write? What methodologies do they use to support their writing process? How is form and language playing a role? If you were teaching this book to a classroom? What pedagogies would you apply to help your students think deeper into the subject and content?

This book club will examine the fiction writing of currently living queer writers. The first group will meet every other Wednesday for a month beginning on October 28th, 2026. There will be hot tea, water, and some light snacks provided. This group is free but donations are encouraged to help the sustainability of the community space. While there is no assigned host? georgia Van Gunten will be there to moderate and encourage an open and respectful discussion. This will be a recurring group so future book recommendations are welcome.

A zoom interview with the author, Lee Mandelo, will take place during the November 18th meeting.

All are welcome.
