Please check the rotation - Venue Rotation & Information: Albert’s (Eurocentric fare) Lokanta (Mediterranean fare) We rotate through these restaurants order every month, starting with Albert's June 2026 and continuing with Lokanta in July 2026 (etc.). Coworking for writers in your area! Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area and writers of all genres and kinds are welcome! When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink if you want one, and get your writing tools ready. If you arrive before the start time, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries! A note about the format We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing. If you are interested, but aren't sure if it's right for you, please message the Host and they will be happy to reassure you that this is for EVERYONE who wants to write - even if it's just dedicated time to journal or noodle with ideas.

We start at a different restaurant on the first Wednesday of every month, and stay at that restaurant for the rest of the month unless it does not suit our needs.
