Write & Read

Something happens when we write together and read our raw material out loud. We show up differently to our craft, and to each other. *We meet every 2nd and 4th Tuesday from September to June, same room, familiar faces. You're welcome to join at any point in the year, and your first session is free.* New and experienced writers welcome, in any genre and at any level of English. ☕ Grab a drink or a bite (this gives us access to the space) 🗣️ Round of check-ins around a question of the day ✍️ Prompt (or choose your own project), then an hour of writing in English 📖 Two minutes each, reading aloud. No critique, since it's first drafts. Instead we offer reflections: Did something stand out? What made you feel something? What left you with a question? Reading aloud for the first time can feel exposing. That's normal here, and you can always pass. Bring a notebook or a laptop, whichever you write in. We're in the Blue Room at Sister Brussels Café, Rue Chair et Pain 3, 1000 Brussels. Membership is €100 for the year. *Sessions are hosted by Brune Smith, a writer and storyteller who's helped people write books, ran storytelling events during her years in Canada, and facilitated over 100 writing sessions for an Oregon-based writing center.*
