Writers, storytellers and songwriters come together to tell, read, sing and share stories–sometimes hilarious, often moving, frequently inspiring, always soulful–on a selected theme.

Salons feature six ten minute stories with opening and closing musical acts in an intimate setting. Join us for an unforgettable night of stories, music and community.

In the past, we’ve raised $190,000 for other organizations helping underserved people in our community doing good work. This year we launched our own nonprofit, offering community writing workshops at no cost for seniors, former foster youth, and at-risk communities. 

Come to share. Come to listen. Just come.

Next Salon: Still Here

Tell us about a time you came through the fire, beat the odds, or simply refused to give up. Or tell us about a time you stayed put, held on, or showed up when it mattered most. 

Was there someone or something that stuck around longer than expected? Something that endured—whether it should have or not? 

Whether your story is triumphant, hilarious, heartfelt, or strange—we ask you to write it, tell it, bring it!

All proceeds benefit Saved by a Story's free community writing workshops.
