Summer Meetup Dates: June 8, June 22, July 6, July 20

Join us for a writing workshop & meetup at the Porch House, facilitated by Amelia Crowther and Ben Davidson — open to all writers in their twenties and thirties of any genre!

Each session, we’ll begin with drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available) and a short social hour before pivoting into our reading discussion for the week, lovingly dubbed our daily ‘liturgy.’ Through generative prompts and writing exercises, this workshop will serve as a time to meditate, reflect, heal, create, and hopefully inspire works that continue on long after the workshop has ended.

Writing can be a solitary thing, so why not take an hour out of the busy week to embark on the journey together? The term "writer" is expansive and warm and has the space to hold us all. And we’d be honored to write with you.

These affinity group meetups are free to attend, but we compensate our facilitators to ensure a high-quality experience and a safe, welcoming space. If you’re able, please consider making a donation of $10–$30 at this link to help us sustain these valuable programs at The Porch.

“Good writing works from a simple premise: your experience is not yours alone,

but in some sense a metaphor for everyone’s.”
