Hear the author answer in full.

The format changes with the host event, but the value is direct: a full-length conversation about the new book, the author’s process, and the career behind the finished work.

Inside the room

A guest author speaks with a small circle of writers holding notebooks

Go with other writers, not alone.

Past member outings have included talks by Elizabeth Gilbert, Matthew McConaughey, and Ryan Holiday. The guest and format change each season, but the benefit is concrete: the club handles the ticket block, and members attend together rather than going alone.

The ticket block puts 30–55 members in the same audience. Past outings have included Elizabeth Gilbert, Matthew McConaughey, and Ryan Holiday.
