Side-project September: Get some writing done
That newsletter you've been wanting to get on with launching. The essay you keep saying you'll start tomorrow. The half-forgotten draft of a book proposal.
What's your writing side project? Come and work on it alongside likeminded people in this after-work session.
Bring your notebooks and laptops, buy a drink, and settle in. We'll kick off with some discussion of our side-projects, then get down to focused writing time.
This event is open to all writers, but has a particular focus on people working on non-fiction essays, articles, and Substack posts.
About The Founder-writer Collective
Writers are now founders. From Emily Sundberg's "studio mindset" to Ashlee Vance's bet on independent storytelling, professional writers own and operate their own brands.
At the same time, company founders increasingly see the value in being writing-first practitioners. By thinking and writing in public, they create new opportunities and cultivate a point-of-view. In the tradition of Warren Buffett and Paul Graham, by way of Julie Zhuo, founders are now writers.
We want to bring these groups together to discuss the future of writing (and editing), find new collaborators, and create time to just get on with writing.
