About

Join the Writers’ Studio Book Club and get fresh reads and expert voices every two months! This bimonthly book club features recently published books across rotating genres, each discussed with an expert.

We dive into a carefully selected book from different genres. Each session features a conversation led by an expert in the field, offering unique insight into the craft, context, and themes of the book.

This gathering features New York Times and USA Today bestseller "Witchcraft for Wayward Girls." Our special guest is BARN's own horror and dark fantasy author Emily Smiley.

Whether you're a writer, reader, or both, this is your chance to explore new voices, expand your literary horizons, and connect with a community that loves books as much as you do. Look for a new genre and a new book every round.
