Jointly presented with SG Writers Network
Writing doesn't have to be lonely, come write together with us.
Grab a pen and find a comfortable seat as you join a community of passionate writers in this free drop-in session. Regardless of your writing goals, this event welcomes you between 6.00 to 8.00 pm to immerse yourself in a night dedicated to the art of writing.
If you're seeking inspiration, we offer guided writing prompts to spark your creativity and ignite your imagination. Head to the pantry to meet the people of SWN or SBC for drinks or chats together with other writers!
Alternatively, if you prefer to concentrate on your work-in-progress, keep to the Training or Conference Room that aims to provide a quiet and supportive environment where you can delve into your project undisturbed. The Writer's Lounge is limited to 1 pax and at a first come first served basis.
Writers are encouraged to bring their work-in-progress or have their materials prepared to fully engage in the writing session. We kindly request that writers be considerate and mindful of others by maintaining a moderate speaking volume during the session or moving to the pantry area for conversations to avoid disrupting fellow participants. Feel free to order or bring your dinner to enjoy during the session, and we also encourage you to bring some snacks to share with others, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie.
Let's create a welcoming and productive atmosphere where everyone can thrive in their writing endeavors. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting your journey, come and embrace a night filled with the joy and magic of writing!
