On select third Fridays of the month from 11:30 AM-1:30 PM, we’ll explore a different writing topic in a lecture-style format after enjoying lunch together. This event will pop up at nearby restaurants in Fond du Lac, Winnebago, Sheboygan, and Washington Counties. Limited to 5 registered participants per Lunch & Learn. Participants are responsible for purchasing their own lunch at the chosen restaurant. We will meet at the restaurant at 11:30 AM, order food, eat, then discuss the writing topic at hand. The event will likely wrap up well before 1:30 PM, but we’ll allot for two full hours to learn and discuss thoroughly.
Just $5 and includes all handouts, writing instruments, and dedicated time for your questions about writing. No need to bring anything with you for the class; Lake Lit provides all materials. For our first-ever Lunch & Learn on Friday, April 18, we will meet at The Bagelmeister at 110 S. Main St. in downtown Fond du Lac to discuss the concept of finding and fostering writerly community.
