Author-Centric Event Calendar

An AZ author’s one-stop-shop for events that help you build skills, improve craft, and grow your network! We search for events hosted by all of the state’s fabulous local groups, and put them into one calendar, filterable by area of the valley, and more. Check it out!

Arizona Anthology

Every few years we produce an anthology filled with work by Arizona authors. Sales of our books helps offset the costs of producing our book club, groups, workshops, and resources. Buy a copy here!

Workshops & Events

We help local authors bring new workshops to life, like Networking for Creative Writers, BLK WRDS Creative Writing Workshop, and more. Find POP events and select other AZ events on our event calendar. Send us your event for consideration.

The POP Blog & Resources

AZ authors blog about their advice, adventures, and inspiration, like how to navigate reader feedback, and how to get out of your own way. Also, click the Resources dropdown for free downloads to help you manage writer’s resistance, prep a beta reader for success, and more.
