No Typewriters / No Talking invites you to our January session hosted in conjunction with our dear friends Molly Rose.

Writers of any stage, genre, format, or style are invited to come work together for one hour in the cozy confines of Molly Rose’s beautiful brewery in Collingwood.

You can write with anything: biro on notepad, fingers on laptop — just not a gosh darn typewriter.

During the hour of writing there is no talking. Coming together for one hour of shared sustained silence is a simple ritual that will help us concentrate on the thing we want to do (but find many reasons not to), write.

What to expect

Turn up from 6PM
Molly Rose will be slinging drinks before, during, and after
Once you move into the writing space there is no talking.
Silent writing will start at 6:30 PM
Our team will let you know when the hour is up

What to bring

Something to write with/on. It could be a biro on notepad, fingers on laptop — anything you want, just not a gosh darn typewriter.
We have Off–Line Supply Co notebooks and Lousy Liners for sale if you forget to bring something to write with

What not to bring

Your typewriter
Talking points, conversation topics, and/or a loquacious attitude

What will be provided

A table to rest your writing implements on
A chair to rest yourself on
Water and various receptacles to hold said water
A prompt for you to write about (if you don't have anything you are currently working on)

Once the hour of writing is over, you can stay for a drink at Molly Rose to, you know, chat.
