Writing Communities

that build bridges, connect the disconnected, and bring people together across divisions of culture, demographics, housing status.

A Simple Model.

It began as a project for people facing homelessness.

Then grew into something better: a space for everyone.

1. Gather

Get together weekly in public spaces. Free to all. Everyone welcome. Good coffee!

2. Write

Write together from shared prompts. Pens, notebooks and prompts provided.

3. Share

Optionally read aloud to the group. We respond with applause. No feedback.


This simple model stirs human creativity, builds community, and changes lives one line at a time.
