Whether you're a poet, storyteller, academic, or simply someone with something to say — this evening is for you.
Join us for a cozy and creative Open Mic for Writers, where anyone can share their writing out loud — be it poetry, prose, personal essays, or even scientific musings. It’s a space to connect, listen, exchange feedback, and get to know fellow writers in the city.
Format:
Each performer will have up to 12 minutes total (6+6):
- 6 mins for reading/presenting
- 6 mins for open discussion or feedback
Feel free to use the time however you like (e.g., 2+10, 9+3, 12+0), as long as it fits within the 12-minute limit. I will be very strict with timing.
Languages: You’re welcome to perform in either English or German.
☕ Since it’s a cafe, there will be refreshments. We will have time for breaks, and socialising.

About Me
Hi! I’m Anastasia. I started our writing club back in May 2025, hosted weekly at the Heinrich Schulz Library (thanks to them, it’s free every Saturday!). With time we have grown and now we also meet on every second Tuesday and Sunday at the cafe. Over time, I’ve been lucky to meet some of the most creative and kind minds in Berlin. Happy to host our second Open Mic and see what all of you have prepared.
This event is an invitation to celebrate your words and the magic that happens when we speak them out loud together.
Looking forward to meeting you all — and hearing your voices.
PS Happy Birthday!

This is a space to simply show up and write, a safe place to be yourself and to release all your layers onto the paper.
There’s no set topic, no feedback circle, and no pressure. Just warm people, a calm atmosphere, and time dedicated to yourself.
