The time of the backyard BBQ, lake days, and copious amounts of sweet tea … summer is here, and so is the SCWA Summer Series. This year, we’re doing it bigger, better, and way more fun.

New day: Wednesdays

More time: The virtual doors open 11 AM, class at noon

More connection: Networking, writing time, and laid-back summer vibes

Join us Wednesdays June 10  – August 19 for engaging topics, inspiring presenters, and the relaxed, hangout-and-learn energy you’ve been craving. Bring your notebook, your questions, and your beach-chair mindset.

Write a little. Connect a lot. Have fun. Own your summer.

Nonmembers: $10/session
