Writers’ Circle Meets at Boyertown Community Library
BOYERTOWN, Pa. — Beginning Thursday, July 30, the Boyertown Community Library will introduce a new Writers’ Circle, inviting adults ages 18 and older to become part of a community of writers committed to encouraging one another and growing in their craft.
Hosted by the Boyertown Community Library, the Writers’ Circle is a community for storytellers, poets, essayists, songwriters, playwrights, memoirists, novelists, and all who are committed to the craft of writing. Designed for adults who are actively writing, the Circle offers a place where original work is shared, ideas are exchanged, and every writer’s voice is valued.
Meeting weekly on Thursdays from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m., members will share works in progress, exchange ideas, celebrate one another’s successes, and strengthen their craft. Inspired by the long tradition of literary circles, the Writers’ Circle encourages members to write consistently, bring new work to each meeting, set meaningful writing goals, and remain accountable to one another as they grow in their craft.
To preserve the conversational nature of the group and provide meaningful opportunities for every participant to share, attendance is intentionally limited. Advance registration is encouraged.
The inaugural gathering will feature Pennsylvania author Dana Kramaroff, whose debut middle-grade novel, The Do More Club, was published by Penguin Random House in 2023. Kramaroff is an elementary school teacher, a National Writing Project Fellow, and a Pennsylvania author. During the July 30 gathering, she will share her journey to traditional publishing, offer practical guidance for aspiring writers, answer participants’ questions, and read a brief selection from her novel.
“I want to tell them that it’s a marathon, not a sprint,” Kramaroff said.
The Writers’ Circle will be facilitated by Michele Barrett, M.Ed., a local educator and grant writer.
“For centuries, writers have gathered with other writers to share ideas, encourage one another, and strengthen their work,” Barrett said. “My hope is to cultivate that same spirit here in Boyertown—a community where writers encourage one another, remain accountable to their writing goals, and discover they don’t have to pursue the writing life alone.”
Participants are encouraged to bring a notebook, laptop, or printed pages of their own original writing. AI-generated writing will not be shared or discussed during meetings.
Participation is free.
