About 702WI:
702WI (WI = writer incubator) is a creative space for writers, creators and designers. 702WI is also an event space for authors and reading groups, and a gallery space for artists who incorporate writing and words. 702WI was created by Reading Group Choices, a company that recommends books for reading group discussion, and is based out of Madison, Wisconsin.
Author Events:
702WI hosts adult and young adult author events, and focuses on events for an author's first book. Since 702WI was created by Reading Group Choices, there is also an emphasis on connecting with book groups from local neighborhoods, community centers and organizations. The events offer an important and fun way to celebrate books, writers, and readers, and aim to inspire lively and thoughtful conversation. The events are creatively designed to connect the reader with the author and book through a small audience, unique formatting, and entertaining additions.
