Perks & Discounts for joining the writers nest
Lunch Break - Tuesdays on Zoom, 12-1 pm EST
Don’t know when to write? Making a habit out of creative writing and becoming a better writer necessitates ritual and consistency.
Our weekly writing hour is a midweek opportunity to turn your creative faucet on and exercise your writer’s mind. In this focused hour, we vow to close our other tabs, listen to an inspiration text, and write for 45 minutes either to the day’s prompt or toward a project of our choosing. It’s that simple!
Community Workshop - Third Sundays in the summer in Crown Heights, BK, 1-2:30 pm
Community Workshops are an opportunity to check in as a writing group.
We begin each session with an open floor for anyone to read a page from something they read or wrote over the past month. Then, learn a little something and write to a prompt that speaks to the month’s theme. After, we share out and offer feedback in the comments for our fellow writers.
Whether there’s booze in your signature cocktail or not, community workshops are meant to be a fun and low-pressure environment to have fun, write some words, swap inspiration, and connect with likeminded, writerly ne’erdowells on a regular basis.
