Join The Night Writer Society on April 5, from 7:30 to 9:00 PM for a scentsational evening workshop of writing inspired by scent. This is not your grandma’s scent workshop: perfumer Yosh Han and travel and food writer Alison Bing will reactivate taste and smell in modern writing, ridding you of olfactory clichés and re-teaching you how to write with the senses. Plus, Almanac Beer, our series beer sponsor, will provide some delicious beer to enjoy during the event!
