Welcome to The Society
The Casual Society of Literary Women was created for women who value literature, thoughtful conversation, and the quiet space that books can provide in our busy lives.
What began as a simple idea—to create a welcoming community around books and storytelling—has grown into a place where women gather to read, reflect, and share ideas with one another. Whether through conversation, literary services, or curated gatherings like our Lakeside Literature retreat, our goal is to bring thoughtful women together around the stories that shape us.
This is not a formal literary organization or academic forum. Instead, it is a relaxed and supportive environment where women who love books, writing, and meaningful dialogue can connect.
We believe literature does more than entertain it expands perspective, encourages reflection, and reminds us of the power of shared human experience.
