SU&W Monday Evening in Mitte

SU&W Monday Evening in Mitte

Mon, Nov 2, 6:00 PM
From Shut Up & Write!® Berlin
4.8

Writing can feel like a solitary experience, but it doesn't have to be! Writing in the company of others can be surprisingly inspiring, productive, and comforting. Writers of all types and levels are welcome. Whether you're writing a novel, a memoir, poetry, journaling, working on your thesis, or even catching up on emails, all are welcome. We do things a little differently on Monday evenings. We start with an introduction round, then we will do 45 minutes of writing, break and share how it went, and then dive into the next 45-minute session. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: [https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw](https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw) For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

Mad Hours Writers Workshop

Mad Hours Writers Workshop

Thu, Nov 5, 6:00 PM
From Mad Hours Writers Workshop

**[MAD HOURS WRITERS WORKSHOP](https://dersalon.cargo.site/)** **DERSALON is looking for writers to join the first gathering of Mad Hours Writers Workshop: an informal, in-person writing workshop in Berlin.** For writers of all genres and forms, writing in English. PROSE, POETRY, FRAGMENTS, FINISHED PIECES, ROGUE SPARKS, BIZARRE BEGINNINGS – whatever form the writing takes, it is welcome. Mad Hours Writers Workshop is a space to bring the work out of isolation and into conversation. A traditional workshop at heart: a writer shares their work, receives immediate feedback and the group reads, listens, discusses, questions and thinks together. But also something looser: a space for discussions and experimentations. The workshop will be led by Kiana Palombo, a writer and publishing mentor, who will bring structure, materials, resources to each gathering. The aim being not simply to gather writers in a room and hope something happens, but to invite exchange, affirmation and conflict. **The workshop will be on Thursday 5 November, between 7-9pm at Schankwirtschaft Laidak in Berlin.** Each workshop can be booked individually, so you can join the topics that speak to you. To keep the groups small while making each session accessible to more people, every workshop will run *twice*. This workshop already took place on 22 October. If you didn't have a chance to join, *Reserve Your Spot Now!* **If you'd like to join the table, please sign up via our website or** **email us at** comeovertodersalon@gmail.com **with your name and a few words about what you're working on. Looking forward to meeting you there!** Follow us on Instagram for updates: @comeovertodersalon

From Reading Accountability Club | Berlin 📚

### Read together, meet new people. Do you also have a growing pile of books you really want to read, but somehow never find the time for? Come meet others in the same boat! We'll get together in a cosy café, put our phones away, and finally make some time for focused reading. It's also a chance to discover what other people are reading, exchange ideas, get introduced to new topics and perspectives, and perhaps find your next favorite book. ***From fiction to psychology, philosophy, science, biographies and everything in between — readers are interesting people, and there's always something to learn from each other!*** **The idea is simple:** bring a book you're currently reading (or have been meaning to start), enjoy some quiet reading time, take breaks to chat, and make a few new friends along the way! ### The plan * **14:00** — Meet, grab a drink and settle in, quick introductions: get to know each other and share what we're reading or interested in * **14:20** — First reading session * **15:30** — Social break: chat about books, ideas and whatever comes up * **16:00** — Second reading session * **17:00** — Wrap up or keep chatting! ### A few details 📍**Café:** Café FreiRaum, Katzbachstraße 24, Kreuzberg *(provisional location. If anything changes, I will update the location here a few days before the event),* 🗓 **Saturday, 14 November** 🕝 **14:00–17:00** 👥 A small, informal gathering of book lovers. **What to bring:** A book or e-reader. Fiction and non-fiction are equally welcome — any genre, any language. No assigned reading, no preparation, no pressure. Just good books, curious minds and good company. **Come for the books, stay for the people.**

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. 🗓️ **Agenda:** * 18:30 - 19:00 **→** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers) * 19:00 - 20:00 **→** 1 hour of silent writing (headphones welcome, focus encouraged) * 20:00–20:30 **→** 30 mins optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your evening) 🎒 **Bring:** * Something to write with (laptop, notebook, phone, typewriter… anything goes) * Your current project or a blank page * Yourself, exactly as you are **👉 Responsibility:** * Our location is limited; thus, I am kindly asking you to RSVP only if you are willing to attend. **📍Location:** * We meet at the Iska Cafe at Kalckreuthstraße 7, 10777 Berlin. * Google map pin: [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/765XQTN8KBGv95gx9) * 🚇 **U1\, U2 Wittenbergplatz \|\| U1\, U2\, U3\, U4 Nollendorfplatz** * 🚌 **106\, 187\, M19\, M29 An Der Urania \|\| M46 Motzstraße** Let's write together!
