About us

Disclaimer: this group is not a space for gen-AI writing, nor feedback on AI-generated text.

We are a collective of novelists, memoirists, poets, diarists, screenwriters, part-time scribblers, essayists and more. Some of us are beginners, some are published, others just enjoy talking shop about literature. We're all here united by our love for the written word.

This group is a support network dedicated to furthering our writing lives. From time to time, we organise workshops covering many aspects of the craft of writing. Writing together in pomodoro-sized blocks is something we regularly schedule. In the past we have also done feedback and critique workshops, prompt-writing workshops, close-reading workshops, and more. Watch this space!

We are inspired by all the varieties of writing that has been shared with us over the years and welcome all voices to participate. Most importantly, we cheer each other on and have fun in the process. Writing can be a solitary business, so why not join us and get support for your writing endeavours?

We write and hold regular writers' workshops in English.

ABOUT THE BOOK
In Upon All the Living, twelve Stockholm-based international writers explore cultural identity in all its intimate, unruly forms. Here, identity lives not only in nations and histories, but in our bodies, in the words we choose to speak aloud and the circles we encounter - circles that can create both connection or confinement.

In Stories We Tell’s fourth consecutive anthology, the stories turn to intimate everyday life to ask larger questions about who we are, what we carry with us and where we belong.
Playful, searching, tender and unsettling, Upon All the Living, invites you to fall deeply into a universe where you might lose yourself in one story, only to find a part of you in another.
