Pathway: Gather & Socialize
Writing and reading don't have to be solitary—this pathway centers connection, conversation, and community. Join fellow writers and readers for casual meetups, celebrations, and shared creative energy.
Find connections, build your network—The Loft's new Writing Network has lots of space and resources to help writers connect.
Remember the thrill of a Scholastic Book Fair as a kid? We’re bringing that nostalgia back—but for grown-ups! The Loft is partnering with Inbound Brewery on a big event at the Grandstand of the State Fair Grounds. Get your tickets now!
Join us as we celebrate our writing community! During this social/writing hour, we encourage current and prospective friends of the Loft to come write with us for the first hour and half at Open Book, expand your network, and join us for the Diversifying Writers Open Mic Reading afterwards.
