Workshops
Chapter members enjoy priority access to online workshops with invited instructors, but occasionally we host mini workshops for talking through structures, sharing forms and experiences and social opportunities to discuss all things bookish. Listings on our event calendar and detailed here indicate whether the event is members-only or open to all.
