Like it or not, autumn is creeping closer and closer – the sky is getting cloudier, the temperature is dropping, the leaves will soon be changing color. Not too far from now, yellow school buses will line the streets and you’ll be trading sandals for hardier footwear! Here at Writers & Books, we love the fall – the weather is pretty perfect for curling up with a good book and a warm cup of tea. So we’ve organized a whole host of September creative classes and events to help you start your fall off right!
