Ghost Poetry Show Writing Night

PHOENIX, AZ – Ghost Poetry Show Writing Night

February 17, 2026 | Changing Hands Bookstore

Want to make time to write and meet other like-minded people in the local writing community? Don’t miss Ghost Poetry Show’s free monthly writing prompt night!

Here’s how the evening works. We’ll pick an attendee-submitted prompt, set a timer for seven minutes while everyone writes, and give an opportunity to share for those who want to do so before moving on to the next prompt. All you need is something to write on—smartphone, laptop, notebook, it’s up to you. If you’d like to make more time to write or meet a new friend, you won’t want to miss it.

This event is at our Phoenix location at 300 West Camelback Road, steps from the uptown Light Rail stop and directly across from the Park and Ride at Third Ave and Camelback.
