In addition to these new workshops, Literary Cleveland will continue its monthly “Between the Lines” event at The Happy Dog Euclid.

Literary Cleveland strives to advance the literary arts by offering classes, workshops, readings, and networking events at libraries, bookstores, and other venues around town. In addition to helping local writers strengthen and develop their craft, the organization aims to build a strong network of writers and connect them to their community.
