Our periodic gatherings (usually about once a month, but watch this page for exact dates) are at the Tavern in the Square in Central Square, Cambridge, on Mondays between 6 and 8 p.m. You can meet and chat with NWU colleagues in a fun, relaxed atmosphere, where you can buy tasty, reasonably priced nibbles and drinks and take a break from the computer (or pencil and pad or papyrus scroll).

Union social events are always a pleasant "gathering of the tribes"--a place where people truly relate to each other's tales of the joys and terrors of the writing life. Our last several get-togethers were fun for all, and some useful networking actually happened.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Please note that this event is at the Tavern in the Square in Central Square − NOT the one in Porter Square. It's at 730 Massachusetts Avenue, right in the square.

The Conference invites independent scholars from all parts of the country to create original works of fiction based on the works of A. J. Liebling, the American journalist, and Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentinean writer and philosopher.

Per member Ned Daly, permanent secretary:

In addition to being an NWU/Boston Chapter member, I have the privilege to be the permanent Secretary of the A. J. Leibling Invitational Short Fiction Conference. The Conference invites independent scholars from all parts of the country to create original works of fiction based on the works of A. J. Liebling, the American journalist, and Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentinean writer and philosopher.

The fourth annual Conference will convene September 11, 2010 in Needham, MA. We anticipate the largest gathering to date. We are looking for corporate/angel sponsorship to underwrite the cost of the Conference and the cost of printing the Proceedings.

Email Ned for more information.
