Our bread and butter is our weekly write-in, a dedicated time for you to sit down and write!
We run sprints, which are just dedicated bits of writing time so that you can lock in. Then, we chat for a while to build community.
There are many ways to keep up with us, but the best is probably our newsletter. We send our newsletter monthly!
Look at our programming!
We do a lot. Here’s our honest attempt to put it all in one concise list.
Novel November
Our flagship program, our bread and butter, our crazy month-long marathon to write an entire novel.
The Spring Sprint
We’re not all about novels here! We started The Spring Sprint to encourage writers to work on shorter projects.
The Short Story Intensive
Meeting the third-ish Saturday of each month, the Short Story Intensive is a group of folks focused on the art of keeping it short.
Critique Partner Match-Up
Writing is only half the battle, critiquing and revising is the other half. It’s good to have a friend and critique partner on your side.
Hot F.Y.N Summer!
Not all of our programming is quite so serious, Hot Finish Your Novel Summer is just a silly way to encourage each other to lock in!
Workshops
We occasionally run workshops, accountability groups, and critique groups.
Educational Events
We partner with libraries and other literary folks in the Kansas City area to host educational events!
Zines
We don’t gatekeep. Almost all of the resources we use for physical events are available on our website for you to print yourself!
FAQs
Is it free?
We’re free forever! Our public events are free for anyone to attend. We often meet in places like coffee shops where you may feel like you need to pay, but rest assured, with a group our size, you are not required to buy anything to reserve our space.
Do I have to show up for the whole thing?
All of our events are designed so that you can come and participate as your schedule allows. So come late, leave early, or stay for the whole thing. We’re just glad you’re writing!
