*more on Book-ish Book Club:
Camp Washington Is Cincinnati’s Neighborhood of Makers.
Good Discovery(s) Presents “Book-ish” is a makers’ book club igniting writers, readers, and creatives around the spirit of Cincinnati as a historic hub for publishing and storytelling that remains vibrant today.
SWELL Arts Café members experience much-needed creative sparks at Book-ish events and interact with each other from pre-event Book Selections to onsite Book Discussions and Follow-up Book Scoring.
SWELL Arts Café members can participate in themed activities and excursions tailored to the book selections.
Reading and sharing ideas about our stories is the inspirational thread connecting all Book-ish events, but writing takes center stage. Book-ish members write all varieties of content, like Poetry, Manuscripts, Short Stories, Peer-reviewed Articles, Monographs, Research, Novels, and Journals.
