The Writing Room @ Making Worlds

  • Making Worlds Bookstore & Social Center 210 South 45th Street Philadelphia, PA, 19104 United States (map)

ADVANCED REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Come co-work with other writers in three 40-minute units of silent writing, every other Friday starting September 20th, from 1–4pm.

Writers and projects of any type are welcome. Includes 10-minute breaks between units, with optional task-oriented self-accountability check-ins. Feel no pressure to share the content of what you are working on during the sessions. The Writing Room provides a friendly, low-stress way to carve out focus through the silent company of others while learning to break larger (and sometimes daunting) projects into less stressful (and possibly pleasurable!) units of concentrated attention. BYO computer chargers, notepads, etc. Come and go as you please.

This method has been designed with the practices of writing pedagogy, mindfulness, trauma-informed nervous system regulation, and anarchist pedagogy in mind.

Facilitated by Shannan (she/they)
