2024 Summer Author Series Pass
2024 Summer Author Series Pass
Join The Detroit Writing Room for our 2024 Summer Author Series at the historic Whitney mansion in Midtown Detroit. The events will take place 7-8:30 p.m. the last Wednesday of every month May through August 2024.
Each event features two notable authors with Michigan ties. Guests will enjoy drinks and hors d'oeuvres during a meet and greet with the authors. The event also includes author talks, an opportunity to ask questions during Q&A, book signings and a raffle with book giveways.
The intimate experiences will be held in the Whitney’s outdoor garden, weather permitting. Space is limited.
We have partnered with 27th Letter Books in Detroit for guests to purchase the books in advance or onsite. Author Series Pass holders will receive a 15% discount on all books!
All event proceeds benefit the DWR’s nonprofit arm Coaching Detroit Forward, which offers free writing and photography programs for Detroit high school students.
