August Meeting: Thursday, August 7th, 7:30 p.m., at a new location (see below). Please come!

August Location:
We will meet at Bergheimerstraße 20, which is a university office very near Bismarckplatz and not far from our usual meeting-place at the DAI.

How to Get There/Logistics:
Enter through the main entrance of Bergheimerstr. 20, go up the main stairwell all the way to the second floor, then look for the small wooden stairs a bit to the left. At the top make a right. Follow the signs for SLK (Schlüsselkompetenz). Look for Room 315.

The entrance door should be unlocked by meeting time. But in case it is locked (or you come later) ring our host, Valerie, at the number you should have in your email from Monday, August 4th. (Write it down or print it out!)

Monthly meetings are usually held at 7:30 p.m. at the Deutsch-Amerikanisches Institut (DAI; a.k.a. "Amerika Haus"), Sophienstraße 12, near Bismarckplatz/Adenauerplatz, 69115 Heidelberg.  Further directions are to be found on the DAI site.

Look for us on the 2nd floor (2. Obergeschoss).  There is an elevator with the floor marked as such.

Heidelberg    
The Heidelberg Writers Group comprises interested English-language writers and poets (published or not-yet-published) in or near Heidelberg or with ties to the region.  The group meets approximately monthly.  There are no dues.  Members share current works with the goal of fostering growth and advancing their craft.  Guests are welcome by arrangement.  Periodically the group presents members' work at public readings and events.  A print review was published in the past; plans are now afoot for a web journal.

     Joining is simple: subscribe to the email list and attend meetings and events.
