We suppose you're wondering why we called you to our Office...

Iowa Writers Collaborative columnists invite you to the "Office Lounge" discussion via Zoom Friday

You’re in for it now.

You’re being summoned to the Office….the Office Lounge, that is.

But unlike your school days, talking back is not only permitted, it’s encouraged.

Meet the Iowa Writers Collaborative columnists in an “Office Lounge” Zoom discussion Friday noon, Sept. 27.

This confab, held the last Friday of every month at noon, is a perk to our paid subsdcribers. If you aren’t yet, feel free to sign up via the link here.

Our column lineup is a wide range of journalists, authors, politicos and sportswriters.

Feel free to comment and ask questions.

Here’s our column lineup, followed by a paywall and a link to the Zoom discussion. Thanks for reading and subscribing, and we hope to see you there.

From our founder, Julie Gammack:
