The Detroit Writing Room has launched a new book club membership that
features virtual book talks with a dozen top local authors, journalists, and public figures. Featured authors include those with New York Times bestsellers and new releases coming out in 2021.
Better than an average book club, Detroit Writing Room Book Club members will enjoy a virtual meet-and-greet with the author, book discussion, and Q&A. They’ll also receive promo codes for special book discounts and be entered to win signed copies.
The talks will be held the last Tuesday of every month from 7 – 8 p.m. EST on Zoom. Members will also receive a video recap.
Authors include:
- January 26 – Former Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer & Elizabeth Ann Atkins, Let the Future Begin
- February 23 – Rochelle Riley, That They Lived: African Americans Who Changed the World
- March 30 – Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, All Rise

Since March, The Detroit Writing Room has shifted to host virtual writing workshops, open mic nights, Speakers Series events, and more.
“Before the pandemic, we hosted many local and national authors at The Detroit Writing Room for book talks,” said Detroit Writing Room founder and CEO Stephanie Steinberg. “We miss having dozens of people in the space for book signings, but this new virtual book club will be a fun way for readers and fans to still interact with award-winning authors while staying safe.”
The Detroit Writing Room Book Club provides a rare opportunity for Metro Detroiters and anyone
nationwide to talk one-on-one with public figures.
