Coffee House Press has re-established free community events. The events, poetry open House and prose open House, were held solo or in partnership with local presses in which we invited authors to read for the community and allowed a space for their literature to be heard and appreciated. Coffee House Press has also launched writer's workshop, working with authors to teach classes based around writing, currently in person, with future plans to expand to virtual options as well.
