I aim to create a space where writers can simply come and get work done with their peers. Manuscripts, screenplays, articles, theses, blogs, indecipherable scribbles, or even a finely crafted email, you just show up, chat a little bit, and then get down to business. Everyone in this group can nudge or shove themselves into gear as they see fit. In the end, it’s all about making the time to sit down, shut up, and write.
