Booklab is a literary salon in Boston that invites writers into a private living room to read and discuss their work. The writers range from debut authors to established stars of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. The atmosphere is relaxed, and it is our pleasure to provide a forum for discussion between readers and writers. If you’d like to be on our mailing list, please contact me through the contact page on this website.
