BE WRITE BACK - pilot
A read and write together: weekend writing hours (Saturday, May 3rd, 10-13:30) plus a sharing evening (Monday, May 5th, 18:15-20:15)
Be in hyper-writing-focus on Saturday and on Monday share work-in-progress, read aloud, and get some feedback. You share a piece of writing and also share what kind of feedback you might be looking for, and you get:
An audience that is not your partner, roommate, siblings, or parents, - some fresh ears, who will listen, ears perked and hearts open
People who KNOW the vulnerability involved in this, they know the messy and the frustrations of work in progress who will give you some nudges and new ideas to explore!
That vibe and space and the crowd that we’re often hungry for - where are the other writers in the neighborhood you might ask yourself? Maybe some of them will show up to this and you can meet them, who knows, it will be a fun surprise!
It will be in English - All genres // all kinds of voices welcome! Multiple times published to never published to don’t care about being published - all welcome. This is for people who enjoy writing, who want to share, who are both willing to receive and provide encouragement, because we all need that these days.
When you sign up for a reading night - you also get access to a writing desk over the weekend. Come sit and write write write on a weekend morn with all of the creative juices flowing at a desk behind the bookshop alongside others who want to do the same. Tea/coffee will be provided. No facilitation here - just a desk, your writing, a friendly vibe - and some focus time to write dammit! No more excuses for me and you both.
We do this at first once a month but we might go towards 2x a month after we see how it goes, the hope is to establish a little dynamic group that is keen on writing and sharing.
