Events
We love the writing community as much as we love writing itself. Join us online, at our conferences, or out in the woods to hang out with a bunch of folks who will know that flash doesn’t always involve light, hermit crabs are more than animals, and poetry doesn’t have to rhyme.
Barrelhouse Write-ins
When: Fridays at 3pm Eastern, Sundays at 1pm Eastern.
Where: online
Meet up in a chat room with other writers, and spend an hour with a great balance of heads-down writing time with a few chat breaks sprinkled in. No mics, no cameras, no pressure. It might seem pretty basic, and it is, but it gets results.
Conversations and Connections Conference
When and where: Pittsburgh in October, Washington DC in April
Conversations and Connections is a one-day writer's conference that brings together writers, editors, and publishers in a friendly, supportive environment. We strive to make Conversations and Connections truly practical and valuable for all writers.

Writer Camp
When: late June and early August
Where: central Pennsylvania
Writer Camp is a laid-back mini-vacation with plenty of time for writing. No readings, no mandatory sessions, no schedules: you decide when it’s time to write, read, or nap in a hammock. Each participant also has the option of receiving detailed feedback from a Barrelhouse editor on their work.
Online workshops
When and where: Online, throughout the year
Join our guest leaders for a small-group online workshop. We typically cap attendance at 12 and most workshops are asynchronous. Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and everything in between. To learn more, sign up for our newsletter or follow us on Twitter.
