The Lab At Writopia's afternoon writing lab, writers bring their work to share with their peers and writing coaches for fun and feedback anytime there is not a workshop in session Monday through Friday, from 3:30pm to 7:30pm. (WritopiaLab is also open on some Sundays.) Semi-Annual Public Readings  Each semester culminates in a public reading at Barnes & Noble. During this exciting event, writers share their work with friends, relatives, and with others who come in response to listings in various media. Contact Us If you or your teen is interested in joining the community, or if you have any questions or comments, please send us a query at How To Join. We promise to respond promptly.
