Please join Benicia Literary Arts for an evening of focused writing time at the Benicia Library. All genres and experience levels are encouraged, and don't worry, no one will see what you've written! This is about getting your writing done and meeting other local writers.
We'll begin at 6:30 by leading a quick round of introductions, then start quiet writing time at 6:45. At 8:15, we'll wrap up and take some more time to get to know each other, share challenges and successes as writers, etc. Again, there will be no obligation to share your work! Feel free to take breaks as needed throughout the event.
Location: Benicia Library - Doña Benicia Room
Shut up and write is on break until January 12, 2026. Then it will continue as usual from 6:30pm-8:30pm at the library, every other Monday starting Jan 12.

Come to a Reading of “Benicia’s Changing Tides” at Bookshop Benicia on January 17th
We are excited to start the New Year with a reading of the book Benicia’s Changing Tides at 6:00 pm on Saturday January 17 at Bookshop Benicia located at 636 First Street in downtown Benicia. There is no charge to attend. In rhyming verse accompanied by rich watercolor scenes, Benicia’s Changing Tides invites readers of all ages to uncover some of the favorite stories, sights and sounds of historic Benicia.
Author Fiona M. Hughes will read from her book which celebrates the proud history, landmarks and local characters that provide Benicia its unique and timeless charm. Illustrator Samantha McNally will be showing some of her original watercolors which were used for the illustrations in this beautiful volume. This should be a lovely evening to celebrate what makes this town so very special.
