Welcome to Scribble House!

We exist to help writters in Western Pennsylvania hone their craft and build their community with things like:

...the next meeting of the Publisher & Bookseller Meet-Up group, which will be Thursday, July 23rd from 7-9pm at Trace Brewing in Bloomfield (or on Zoom, for folks who can't get there in person). This meetup is a free, hybrid event open to everyone involved in making and selling books, literary journals, and other printed creative work.
