Valley Society’s Black writing group meets monthly as part of our Field Day series—an intentional rhythm of walking, sharing food, and writing in community.
Field Day Schedule:
- Morning Hike – A local trail walk to awaken the senses
- Brunch – A shared meal, usually hosted in a member’s home or local space
- Writing Group – An in-person writing session using the Amherst Writers & Artists method
These sessions are designed for Black writers in the Pioneer Valley—whether you’re just beginning or already deep in your work. We gather to reflect, write, and support each other. Field Days are limited in size to preserve intimacy and focus.
Frequency: Monthly
Day: Sundays
Location: In-person, hosted by members in and around Central and Western Massachusetts
Facilitator: Christopher J. Sparks
