WeHo Reads returns in 2023 with a focus on mindful journeys toward a better future. Building on the previous year’s “Road to Joy” theme, we now look to the future and the paths we can take toward understanding, empathy, and harmony.

Our first event of the Winter/Spring season will be an in-person gathering to celebrate the writers and poets who have shared their joy and wisdom in 2022 and those who will participate in the 2023 series as well. Participating writers will include: Shonda Buchanan, Flint, Lisbeth Coiman, Peter J. Harris, Reuben "Tihi" Hayslett, traci kato-kiriyama, Lester Graves Lennon, Malia Márquez, Carla Sameth, Lynne Thompson, Hazel Kight Witham, and more.
