Wednesdays On the Stoop, a series of free programming by Zoom every Wednesday from 4 pm - 5 pm. The sessions will range from sit-togethers to read a story or poem, writing quietly together, open mics, and more. The sessions are designed to be a constant structure--every Wednesday at 4 you can count on Blue Stoop to plug you into writing energy as well as being a chill and supportive space for those looking for community, prompts, or any engagement with writing craft in this tough time. Some of them are going to be run by Blue Stoop staff, and some by community partners or past teachers.

Join writer Alex Hillman as he’ll share what he learned about the modern tools for self-publishing, share specifics about the book's launch strategy, and answer any questions you have about doing your own self-publishing. It's never been easier or more affordable to publish on your own. In August, Alex Hillman launched his new book The Tiny MBA as a hybrid print + digital self-published title, selling more than 1300 pre-orders in the first 3 weeks.
