Do you love jazz-pop artist Laufey? Did you know that she leads a book club? Well, now you can be a part of the Lauver book club community! Each session, be prepared to come ready to discuss one of Laufey’s picks––typically fiction with a whimsical bent. We’ll identify craft elements we love and discuss implementing those components in our own practices. This group will discuss one book per session, and will meet once every two months.

The book is available at this link on Amazon, but we appreciate if you obtain it through your local book store or borrow it from your local library. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram
