A guided writing prompt with a twist.

Because writing is thirsty work.

Bwè yon ti bwason. Ekri yon istwa. Bwè yon lòt ti bwason. Ekri yon pi bon istwa.

Miami Book Fair presents First Draft, a series of informal writing events that turn happy hours into great stories.

You’re inspired. But you’re also thirsty. Bring your own drink and log in for a First Draft event and a guided writing prompt. Share your writing. You never know what you might knock out as you knock one back!
