We are Jakarta Writers.
Join the community! It doesn't matter if you just pick up pen and paper or if you are writing since years; it doesn't matter what and how often you write.

This group is perfect for all those interested in storytelling, and in exploring and developing their craft.

We are the biggest, first, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta... and we invite you to join us! Everyone is welcome.

Jakarta Writers (former Jakarta Creatives) is the community to explore, practice, or enjoy all forms of writing and creativity in Jakarta. Other than regular writing events and workshops we do book clubs, book swaps, comedy events as well as occasionally attend museums and poetry open mics, watch movies, and much more!

Together with the group Jakarta Friends (which mostly focus on social activities) we are all about authentic connections in an uncomplicated and informal setting.

Together, we are creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome. This community is a convergence of people and cultures.

Over the past 3,5 years, with Jakarta Writers & Jakarta Friends we have had over 250 events with about 2,000 attendees! Everyone should always feel welcome to join disregarding from their ethnicity, nationality, religion, creed, age, language skills, gender identification, sexual orientation, background, ability, income, social status, or any other arbitrary trait.

We have a yearly membership fee to join our events. This is explained in detail in every event description. The membership fee is not expensive and gives access to all events, while guaranteeing that hosting events remains sustainable for the organisers. There's much more value to members in a yearly fee than in an event fee.

We guarantee to keep organising plenty of events and the fee is refundable if the group closes down or if there are no events for more than three months. You can attend the first event for a sneak peek price!

You can also connect via chat and social media:

You are invited to **join the group Jakarta Friends, too 👉🏼 https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/** With Jakarta Friends we eat and drink together, play board games, talk business, socialize, do language exchanges, explore the city by walking and culinary tours, and much more!

We look forward to meet you at a next event!
Corrado & the team of co-organisers

An important note about this community: This group welcomes everyone who genuinely wants to connect. The organisers won't tolerate any of the following behaviours:

  • marketing promotions without checking with the admin first (including aggressive marketing strategies, pet trading, self-centered offers, non-relevant posts)
  • negativity and blaming (including spreading false information, criticizing without offering a honest feedback or alternative solutions)
  • harrassement, discrimination, intolerance, disrespectful behaviour
  • it's important that people respect RSVP at event, and are respectful of everyone's time and efforts in organising events
  • anyone who feels unsafe or unwelcome at an event is encouraged to report this to the organisers or to the Meetup help center

BOOK CLUB: Persuasion by Jane Austen w/Jakarta Writers

BOOK CLUB: Persuasion by Jane Austen w/Jakarta Writers

Wisangkopi Panglima Polim, Jl. Panglima Polim V No.9, RT.4/RW.6, Melawai, Kec. Kby. Baru, Jakarta, ID

Hello, Jakarta Writer! Are you a member of Jakarta Friends yet? Want to see pictures of past events? Take a look here! And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event 😊

JakWri (former Jakarta Writers) and JakFri is the biggest, oldest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta… and we invite you to join us for this BOOK CLUB discussing "Persuasion" by Jane Austen!

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle. Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

ABOUT THE EVENT

The idea is very simple: we will meet and discuss the book. Everyone will receive a copy of the book as PDF beforehand for free (which we kindly ask not to share with everyone - this book discussion is for educational purposes). Reach out to the host to receive the PDF, and feel free to ask any question in the discussion section of the event page.

Everyone is encouraged to read the short book (in English, about 300 pages) beforehand to participate to the discussion. Coming without having read the book is possible, but just half the fun.

The host will give a short introduction about the book and guide through the discussion, which will be very informal and fun. Everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts and ask questions. This event is introvert friendly! No one will be put on the spot or forced to speak. Just join and share your passion for literature, no matter how much you read.

This is a dream event for anyone who wishes to take a deep dive into literature and have a fun, social lunch time. Our book club will be in English. Everyone's English level is OK as this is a nice occasion to practice English in an informal and welcoming setting.

ABOUT THE BOOK
"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death...

I have loved none but you.**"

I refuse to elaborate on anything more to describe the potency of the romance in this book.

Read, weep, and take that leap of faith.

We have had several Book Clubs before! Take a look at some past events:

    Writers' Club: GIVE & RECEIVE FEEDBACK on your writings 📖✍️🤓 with JakWri

    Writers' Club: GIVE & RECEIVE FEEDBACK on your writings 📖✍️🤓 with JakWri

    Mikkro Espresso Jakarta, Jl. H. Junaedi No.8, RT.3/RW.3, Cipete Sel., Kec. Cilandak, Kota Jakarta Selatan, South Jakarta City, ID

    Hello, Jakarta Writer! Are you a member of Jakarta Friends yet? Want to see pictures of past events? Take a look here! And feel free to upload a few pictures you will take at the event 😊

    JakCre and JakFri is the biggest, oldest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta… and we invite you to join us for this WRITERS' CLUS: Give and receive FEEDBACK on your writing! 📖✍️🤓

    Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.
    Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

    ABOUT THE EVENT

    What's one of the most difficult part in writing? Getting high-quality feedback!

    This event addresses exactly this! Plus, writers will have the chance to be part of a friendly community and a support system for fellow creatives. We want to help and elevate each other!

    This is what we will do: We will meet at the indicated time (please don't be late) and everyone who wishes to can drop their name on a box for a lucky draw. One person is selected by chance and will need to have a text of any kind (poetry/fiction/non-fiction/essay/article/script/blog/music lyrics/whatever!) ready to share with everyone on a Google drive folder.

    Then everyone will take their time and read the piece(s) on their own. We allocate about 90 minutes quiet reading time. Readers will take notes on what they wish to give feedback to. The author is also welcome to brief readers on what they should pay attention to or give feedback on.

    People who wishes to be there as readers only (that is, without putting their name in the lucky draw box), are most welcome to! The crucial part is that everyone needs to be respectful of each other's craft and give polite, constructive feedback!

    After reading time, there is the feedback time! For about 90 minutes, we will discuss what we have read, and give feedback to the author.
    Sounds easy, fun, and productive? It is. Everyone will have the chance to learn something new! This event doesn't require any preparation! We will read and give feedback on the spot.

    It's important that everyone is on time and ready to share their text on Google Drive for everyone to read, so that we can start without delays!

    This will be a unique occasion to receive a feedback on your writings (of any kind) and to practice your ability to give and receive feedbacks on texts!

    Just be ready to share (not mandatory) a piece of your writing of about 2,000 words (1,000 to 10,000 words is OK, too, but be aware that a shorter piece is more likely to receive plenty of feedback) as a Google Drive link and grant people access to read.

    We have done this event many times before! Take a look here:
