Co-Writing Sessions
Writing is meaning-making
If you are writing something - whether it’s a novel, a short story, a newsletter or essay - you will know how it helps you make sense of the world.
But writing does not always come easy. You will likely be familiar with the aching sense of needing to write more, the notes app of ideas, but then finding it hard to sit down and write. You’ll probably also know how great writers are, and how nice it is to talk about your projects to others every now and again.
About the Writers Sessions
This writers salon brings together creative people who either write full-time, or most often alongside their main work, to make time for writing. Together we will create the space and accountability for you to spend real time on your work while surrounded by other creative people doing the same - from fiction books, to newsletters, to website copy.

Join us to work on whatever project needs attention - you can be in the research-phase or writing phase, all are welcome. The perfect excuse to finally open that draft you've been avoiding.
Q&A:
Q: Do I need to be writing a book?
A: No! You can be writing anything you want. You can even just use the time to journal.
Q: Do I have to share my writing?
A: Nope. Lots of people share the direction of their project, as they tend to get helpful advice and support, but it’s not mandatory or a structured part of the event.
Q: I want to commit to join but I can’t make the next date!
A: Sign up to get emails about the next events :)
