​Finally a book club for writers.

​Each month we’ll be reading either:

​A non-fiction book designed to help us become better writers. Books like: On Writing Well, Elements of Eloquence, The Artists Way, Big Magic.

​Or

​We’ll be reading an absolute classic, books like: The Sun Also Rises, A Handmaids Tale, East of Eden, or Jane Eyre. Books that we all can learn a thing or two from.

​Intermezzo

​Sally Rooney’s Intermezzo follows two brothers grappling with grief, isolation, and quiet longing in post-pandemic Dublin. Told with her trademark emotional restraint and crystalline prose, the novel captures how people fail—and try—to connect in the wake of loss.

​How this book will make you a better writer:

• ​Write complex emotion with subtlety.

• ​Craft dialogue that feels lived-in.

• ​Master character interiority.

• ​Use pacing to mirror emotion.

• ​Weave themes into everyday detail.

​This book is a masterclass in minimalist emotional storytelling. If you’ve ever wondered how to make quiet stories feel thunderous—join us!
