Berea Writers Circle meets the third Saturday of every month from 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm at the Madison County Public Library, 319 Chestnut Street, Berea, KY 40403. Programs include workshops, speakers, panels, and discussion on the craft.

​

Every month on the third Thursday, we co-host Spoken Word at 7:00 pm at the Berea Arts Council gallery at 444 Chestnut Street. Bring a few poems, flash fiction, or a five-minute excerpt to share or lend your ears and enjoy the company of other writers. Bar sales benefit the Berea Arts Council.

 

If you are a white female, should you be able to write a story from the perspective of a Latin young man?  Can a writer imagine what a character thinks if he or she has not lived in their shoes?  Some say yes, some say no.  How does the perspective of the “other” inform the character of the ingroup?  Are there limits on what we can imagine?  Limits to what we should imagine?  Or should you just stay in your lane?  Who gets to decide?  Who gets to set the rules?  Louis Will challenges us in a session inviting us to think about some of these dilemmas.  Sounds to me like a session you won’t want to miss.  Happening Saturday, November 15th from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm.  Of course, we’ll have some refreshments.  Come be with us at the Madison County Public Library in Berea.  I think you’ll enjoy it.
