Book Writing

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

**Join us in May for a book club discussion of Strangerland by Monika Radojevic, followed by coffee or drinks nearby.** This month, we’ll be reading Strangerland, the debut novel by Brazilian-Montenegrin writer and poet Monika Radojevic, **ahead of her upcoming visit to Backstory Bookshop on June 9th.** Set between London, Yugoslavia, and Brazil, the novel follows Zivoin, newly arrived in England as he watches his homeland begin to fracture, and Alegria, a bright and ambitious young woman preparing to leave Uberlândia behind in search of a different future. When their paths cross, they find in each other a brief but profound sense of home. Come discuss this moving new novel with us! The discussion will be held in English, but you’re welcome to read the book in any language. We’ll meet at Backstory Bookshop downstairs. We’ll continue the evening with a casual get-together over coffee or drinks nearby. New readers are always welcome!

💜Club Tránsito💜 Con este ciclo de dos sesiones queremos acercarnos más al hermoso catálogo de nuestra editorial amiga @transitoeditorial. Lo haremos con dos autoras mexicanas recién salidas del horno: @lilicuados y @noraaamh. 💐 Liliana Muñoz acompaña a su tía abuela Yoli —nonagenaria, alegre, lúcida— durante los días en que la enfermedad hace visibles los límites de la vida. Lo que empieza como un intento por fijar recuerdos se convierte en una meditación sobre el paso del tiempo y la fragilidad del cuerpo. Con una prosa contenida, la autora reconstruye escenas de infancia, charlas de sobremesa, chismes jugosos y anécdotas disparatadas que revelan una entrañable constelación familiar: el buen humor de Yoli, el singular carácter de sus hermanas, la entrega silenciosa de su hija Ceci, la devoción de sus sobrinos. La autora va tejiendo una reflexión sobre los cuidados, el tiempo y la memoria entre Mérida y Barcelona, entre lecturas compartidas y visitas al médico. 'Los umbrales' es el retrato íntimo, tierno y sereno de una vida en apariencia común, que, al ser contada, revela su extraordinaria profundidad. Un libro que esconde una celebración: la de una vida sencilla, bien vivida, y la de un lazo familiar lleno de humor, afecto y complicidad. ¡Les esperamos! 🤗

La diferencia muchas veces no está en la inteligencia ni en las oportunidades… sino en **los hábitos**. En esta conferencia exploraremos los principios fundamentales del desarrollo personal propuestos en el influyente libro **The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People** de **Stephen R. Covey**, una obra que ha transformado la forma de entender el liderazgo, la efectividad personal y las relaciones humanas. A través de estos siete hábitos descubrirás cómo pasar de reaccionar ante la vida a **tomar el control consciente de tu crecimiento**, desarrollando una mentalidad basada en responsabilidad, claridad de propósito y cooperación con los demás. 🔎 **En esta conferencia abordaremos:** • Qué significa realmente ser una persona **proactiva** • Cómo definir un **propósito claro** para tu vida • El arte de **priorizar lo importante sobre lo urgente** • La mentalidad **ganar–ganar** en relaciones y proyectos • La importancia de **comprender antes de ser comprendido** • El poder de la **sinergia y la colaboración** • Cómo mantener un proceso constante de **renovación personal** Más allá de simples técnicas de productividad, estos hábitos representan **principios universales de crecimiento personal y liderazgo** que pueden aplicarse en la vida diaria, en el trabajo y en las relaciones. 🎯 **Esta conferencia es ideal para:** * Personas interesadas en desarrollo personal * Profesionales que desean mejorar su liderazgo * Emprendedores y buscadores de crecimiento * Cualquier persona que quiera vivir con más propósito y efectividad Una invitación a reflexionar sobre cómo pequeños cambios en nuestros hábitos pueden generar **grandes transformaciones en nuestra vida**. **Ponente:** Alejandro Alonso \| Coach [https://www.linkedin.com/in/aalonsoas/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aalonsoas/) **Colaboración**: 5€ (costes de sala y organización) **Formato**: Conferencia y preguntas

We'll gather at Neal's spot with the goal to create for 2 hours, with some quick breaks in between. Last one of the year! Below is our approx. schedule - so please try to be on time :) 6:30pm - arrival and 5 minute setup 6:35pm - \~10 minute word vomit 6:45pm - 5 minute break and reset 6:50pm - 30 minute writing sesh! 7:20pm - 5 minute break 7:25pm - \~30 minute writing sesh! 7:55pm - 5 minute break 8:00pm - \~30 minute writing sesh! 8:30pm - 10 minute decompression meditation 8:40pm - If folks want a final writers sesh, we do it. Otherwise, we say goodbye :)

This meetup is for anyone—anyone at all—who enjoys playing around with words. You’ll be given a prompt (usually one word, such as “playground” or “shiver”) and time to express yourself in writing in response to it. Anything goes: prose, poetry, lists, letters, lyrics; any form which calls to you and demands expression. After we have finished writing, you will be invited to share your piece with the group (totally optional, but the feedback can be fun). The feedback (this is the only part with rules): Responses should be in the form of what stayed with you, what you remembered from the piece, what resonated with you. This is NOT a writing or craft class; there is no good or bad here. Critiques or suggestions miss the point. This is new, tender writing, and we honor it as such. All writing is considered fictional. This is liberating for the writer, as you are free to write about literally anything and it will never be considered to be “about you.” The first person is always just a character. Please bring your own writing equipment. It is helpful to come on time so you can hear the prompt and have enough time to write. Please buy a drink or snack from Charcha, our generous host.

**Saturday, May 30th at 18:00.** Welcome to another wonderful event at [Backstory] Bookshop, celebrating poetry, storytelling, and music! 🎙️Gypsy Lounge is a monthly open mic and a vibrant celebration of diversity, creativity, and connection.

Just come by at around 17:45, on the evening of the open mic. **The first 8 artists will get to sign up.** Each artist will have up to 7 minutes to perform or share their work (or up to 2 songs). Performance slots are **limited,** so please come early. Also, this event is **not managed** by BackStory, so if you have any questions, please DM @gypsy_loungebcn on Instagram.

Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!

Let me know if you’d like to volunteer to bring snacks or drinks for the group.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
