Present your writings or your writing plans and ideas!

Welcome to the VERY FIRST event of HOW TO BECOME A WRITER!

The setting of this event is very simple: we will meet and present each other work, and/or our plans and ideas! What is everyone working on? What is your dream project? What have you proud to have achieved?

You are welcome to show thing on your screen (altohugh, please make sure that you have a tablet-size or laptop screen to show it), or just share link with everyone in the group chat!

Or just talk and explain to everyone! You are welcome to prepare a structured presentation but equally so to wing it on the spot. Everyone has about 5-10 minutes time, depending on how many people we will be.

I am also most happy to receive feedback on this group and suggestions on what events to organise in the future (although I already have many ideas, and many events schedulled... see all future events here!)

We will meet in a café in Poins Mall (MRT Lebak Bulus) with great coffee and a lovely book shelf, and sit down on a few tables. Please make sure to order at least one drink as a respect for the venue.

Please be on time as we want to start together and listen to each other presenting their work. Please make sure you understand that we have a monthly membership fee in place. Membership fee can be paid through the app (3 USD/month) or by becoming a paid member of my Patreon page (👉🏼 www.patreon.com/corradonai | Tier 1 = 2.49 USD/month is OK!). Please confirm payment before a few moments before joining the event and be ready to show a confirmaiton of payment to save time. Thanks! Membership gives access to all events of HOW TO BECOME A WRITER for 30 days after payment as well as to all events of Jakarta Creatives for 30 days after payment, and can be stopped on a monthly basis.

This event is back-to-back with the WORKSHOP: CROWDFUNDING ABC happening at the same place at 2:30 PM, where I will present my experience on raising funds for writing projects, and help you set up your! Feel free to join one event or both but please note that you need to register to both events individually. As I explain, the membership fee will give you access to both events: pay once, attend multiple events!
