Corpus Christi Writers 2023 Launch
Free!
5 PM
1902 North Shoreline Boulevard
Corpus Christi, TX 78401
The Corpus Christi Writers series strives to present diverse views and perspectives that, taken as a whole, reflect what people in this community are thinking. Many writers from previous anthologies return to this sixth book in the series, and many new writers join them. Youthful exuberance coexists with polished style. The themes vary and express the unique viewpoints of the writers. If you are a contributor, you can pick up your complimentary paperback copy between 5 - 7 PM. Copies will also be available for $10. The FREE readings start at 7:00.
Our mission is to bring local writers together! Want us to help spread the word about your literary event or writers’ get-together? Please complete the form here.
I’m going to be ML again this year for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month in November). Hopefully I can share some of your meetups in November to help local NaNo writers make process if they are looking for something in person. I hope to make some online ones. Thanks for any support you can provide.
