Nameless Writers Salon began in January 2024 and quickly became a local favorite: the inaugural salon drew capacity crowds and even maintained a waiting list, with Sound View accommodating 60 patrons per event. The salon is always free to attend in the spirit of art being shared and open to all. Monthly salons are set in The Library of the hotel and feature a rotating curator who selects themes and up to five readers per event. The Halyard restaurant is open for food and beverages purchases. A short intermission sometimes includes a giveaway or trivia, and in classic salon tradition, guests are seated among new company (though parties are kept together). Over the course of the first two seasons, the series has developed a dedicated audience across writing, arts, and literary communities.

As the third season continues, Nameless Writers Salon reaffirms its commitment to literary risk-taking, communal connection, and the fostering of conversation across genre and perspective. The January 22nd salon (the 12th in the series) promises to set the tone for a season of provocative literary exploration.
