Write for a Cause. Write for Yourself.

This September, join us for a month-long writing challenge that not only strengthens your writing habit but also supports a great cause: scholarships for future classes at The Porch!

Set a writing goal, whether it's writing 30 pages, 30 hours, or 30 poems… or come up with your own personal target. Throughout the month, you can track your progress, share wins, and get support from fellow writers. Plus, you’ll have the option to meet in person on Tuesday nights for dedicated writing time (with prompts and encouragement from your fellow writers). If you can’t make it in person, join our digital space where writers from all over can share prompts, progress, writing nooks, and offer brags and encouragement along the way.

While you’re focused on your writing goals, your registration fee of $30 (with sliding scale options) will help fund scholarships for writers like you, making The Porch’s future classes accessible to everyone. This year, we’re aiming to raise $5,000 through this Write-a-Thon, and we need YOU to help us get there. Write your heart out! Your participation will make a difference.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Optional Write-In Sessions: Join us for weekly "write-in" sessions every Tuesday evening (6:00-8:00 PM) throughout September, in person or online via Zoom. 
  • The Sept. 1st and 8th in-person sessions will take place at Center 615 from 6-8pm at 615 Main Street, Nashville, TN 37206.
  • The Sept. 15th, 22nd, and 29th in-person sessions will take place at the Porch House from 6-8pm at 2811 Dogwood Pl., Nashville, TN 37204.
  • Digital Space: For those participating remotely or for added support, you'll have access to our private digital space via Padlet
