Every Thursday night from 5-8pm we are offering writers a place to get creative. 

New Sacramento Writers Group

Write your novel or screenplay or short stories or fan fiction or stage play or comic book script or non-fiction book with us! 

 Get out of the house and come down for some dedicated, distraction free writing where you can meet other local writers, get inspired and put some valuable words to paper.


What to Expect

We have tables and chairs and outlets available if you prefer to use your laptop. We carry water and sodas in the store. In our shopping center, there is a Pizza Hut, a Mediterranean food restaurant, and an American food restaurant. Feel free to bring some snacks for yourself or to share.

 We play a variety of musical genres in the store, so if you're musical palate is finely tuned to your own collection, you may wish to bring headphones.

 This is just a taste of what's new at Empire's Comics Vault in 2015!
