The Salon is inspired by a meeting between Dorothy Parker and F. Scott Fitzgerald on writing and inspiration at the Algonquin Hotel in New York City in 1920 beginning a tradition of writer’s salons. It runs from 6:00pm to 8:00pm offering writers dedicated time for their own projects, with writing prompts and support from fellow creatives.

Lisa said: “It’s’ difficult to carve out time for creativity and these sessions are designed to offer a supportive space to write your own story.”
