Dear Writers,

Our Writing Prompt for this evening was: “It doesn’t matter if its right or not, its human nature and you can’t change that.” - The Winter Hero by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier. 

Also coming soon will be a post on how to start your own writing/critique group.


Sadly, The Portsmouth Writers Salon is at capacity and is not currently accepting new members.

We do have a waitlist, and those interested in being on the waitlist may email: PortsmouthWritersSalon@gmail.com

Alternatively, please see our list here of local open and closed ongoing writing groups: Ongoing Literary Stuff #PortsmouthNH

If you are looking to make some local literary connections, you may want to check out the Writers Night Out in your area hosted by the New Hampshire Writers Project: Writers Night Out

Keep Writing,
