This Banned Books Week, celebrate your right to reading with a guide to the District’s literary clubs. Whether your interests lie in short stories, creative writing or even graphic novels, these unique clubs make it easy to find time for literary endeavors.

Baked Lit Short Story Book Club: If you simply don’t have time to tack an extra novel onto your to-do list, check out Baked & Wired’s short story club. Baked Lit hosts weekly meetings in the company of cupcakes and, of course, complimentary coffee. Past stories include classics like “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce and “Shooting an Elephant” by George Orwell, as well as more recent picks like Roger Angell’s “This Old Man,” published in the New York Times in February. Make sure to check out the group’s Tumblr for links to the latest stories on the list. Did we mention there will be cupcakes?

Baked and Wired, 1052 Thomas Jefferson St. NW. Meets Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.

Graphic Novel Book Club: If the term “graphic novel” brings to mind images of super heroes in tights, think again. A new addition to the numerous book clubs offered by coffee shop and bookstore Politics & Prose, the Graphic Novels Book Club aims to expand the understanding of the genre as more than just comics. Every fourth Wednesday, the group meets to discuss a graphic novel in its entirety, including the content of the story, the art and how the two are connected. This month’s reading: “Seconds” by Bryan Lee O’Malley, writer of the popular Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series.

Politics and Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW. Meets every fourth Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

Split This Rock Writing Workshop: Hone your writing skills or simply try out a new creative endeavor at Split This Rock, a writing workshop that held its first-ever session Sept. 3. The bi-monthly writing event, co-hosted by the Beltway Poetry Slam, invites writers to work on projects and share ideas. At each session, writers will receive a new prompt and have the opportunity to hear feedback. Workshops are $5 each and hosted at the Split This Rock headquarters.

Split This Rock, 1112 16th St. NW., Suite 600. Meets every first and third Wednesday of the month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

DC Feminist Book Club: Take a step back from the traditional idea of book club reading with the DC Feminist Book Club, which analyzes works through the lens of feminism. Monthly discussions cover topics like identity and oppression, and how these ideas are manifested in literature. Past meetings have centered on the feminist theory writings of Chandra Talpade Mohanty in “Feminism without Borders: Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity” as well as Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel and memoir “Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic.”

Madhatter, 1319 Connecticut Ave. NW. Meets one Sunday per month at 5 p.m., though exact dates and times may vary.

Monkeys with Typewriters: Based in Arlington, Va., Monkeys with Typewriters gives creative minds of all ages a place to brainstorm. Members typically begin meetings by sharing their goals for the session, followed by group work in which writers and artists are free to focus on projects from blogging to poetry to drawing and more. Events vary by date and location, but members tend to meet weekly in Metro-accessible spots with free Wi-Fi. Keep up with their Meet-Up page to learn about scheduled meetings. Ready to hear feedback about your work in a more structured environment? Check out the group’s offshoot writing critique club, Monkeys with Red Pens.

Meetings vary by date and location.
