Read Editing: Monthly Writers Meetup for Sharing, Feedback & Co-Creating
\*This is a free event, but please [donate through Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/read-editing-monthly-writers-meetup-tickets-1981513291596?aff=oddtdtcreator) to support our collective if you are able!
Please join us on the 2nd Monday of every month for this event, built for all of your “in between works“ by the [Read Wedding](https://www.instagram.com/readwedding/) collective.
Most events for writers are focused around ***creation or performance***. Much comes between this, yet we do not always hold each other through that phase. It is perhaps expected that all of those self-questioning, unsure, multi-path moments between lightbulb idea and snap-inducing performances are to be personal and private -- but they do not always have to be. We therefore offer you a space for everything unfinished. Needing bouncing around. Ready for a test run.
We will meet in a more traditional meetup format than our open mic -- without any set format of facilitation. We will determine the approach to each session based on who's arrived and what their goals are. You may expect some combination of solitary writing time, sharing and feedback, and guided exercises. We'd love for you to show up however you are, and with some writing materials (including your phone, if you prefer). However you arrive, so long as you are feeling curious and open, we will have something for you and your work.
See you there!
Brooks, Bubamarrë, Maggie & Johanna

Offener Leseabend
## Wo & Wann?
**JEDEN MONTAG** findet die offene Lesebühne des Autorenforums Berlin statt (außer an Feiertagen)
**BEGINN**: 20:00 Uhr
**ANMELDUNG zum Lesen: ab 19:30 Uhr**
beim Moderator des Abends – siehe [Termine](http://autorenforum-berlin.de/wordpress/termine/);
Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos.
**SCHWARTZSCHE VILLA**
**Großer Salon**
Direkt am S/U Rathaus Steglitz
Grunewaldstr. 55
Der offene Leseabend stellt das Herzstück des Autorenforums e.V. dar. Er steht nicht nur Mitgliedern, sondern grundsätzlich jedem Autor und jeder Autorin offen, der gerne einen unveröffentlichten Text vor Publikum präsentieren möchte. Auch Kritik kann jedermann üben. Wer lieber zuhören möchte, kann einfach am Montagabend um 20.00 in der Schwartzschen Villa erscheinen. Für Lesewillige gilt die unten stehende ausführliche Information (mündliche Anmeldung ab 19:30 Uhr).
*Unfortunately at the moment, it's only possible to present German texts. Unpublished texts that are already translated into German are highly welcome!*
## Was erwartet Sie?
Im Großen Salon der Schwartzsche Villa treffen Sie auf einen Kreis von Literaturbegeisterten, die Ihrem Text eine ernsthafte und fundierte Kritik spenden. Das Publikum wechselt. Es ist gemischt, geeint durch das Interesse an Texten.
Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Abends lesen aus ihren bislang unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten, lyrischen Texten, Erzählungen, Romanen, manchmal auch aus Theaterstücken. Die Autoren stellen nicht sich selbst, sondern ihre Texte der Kritik.
Wir verstehen uns als Arbeitsbühne. Deshalb wird bei uns nach den Lesungen nicht geklatscht.
Die Texte werden nach der Lesung des Autors auf handwerkliche Stärken und Schwächen „abgeklopft“. Es geht im Forum daher nicht um weltanschauliche Debatten. Im Idealfall hat der Autor/die Autorin nach einer Lesung und der Kritik verstanden, wo die Stärken und Schwächen seines Textes liegen, woran es seinem Text noch fehlt, was er ändern sollte und wo er bei seiner Überarbeitung ansetzen kann.
Der Abend endet gegen 22.00. Im Anschluss können Sie mit den Autoren im Café der Schwartzschen Villa noch ins Gespräch kommen und manches aus dem Literaturbetrieb erfahren. Wir sind im Kontakt auch mit namhaften Vertretern desselben.
Also – nicht gleich verschwinden! Dranbleiben.
Reden Sie mit den Forumianern!
## Sie möchten selbst lesen?
Wenn Sie selbst im Autorenforum lesen wollen, gibt es einige Dinge zu beachten. Wir bitten Sie sehr herzlich, sich mindestens einmal vor Ihrer ersten Lesung bei uns mit unseren Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen. Ihren Lesewunsch können Sie dann ab 19.30 Uhr (Einlass) bei der Moderatorin oder dem Moderator eines Leseabends anmelden.
**Wir weisen ausdrücklich daraufhin, dass über die Annahme und Reihenfolge der Lesungen die jeweiligen Moderatoren entscheiden und es NICHT zwingend nach der Reihenfolge der Anmeldungen geht!**
In der Regel reicht die Zeit nur für drei Autoren je Abend und die Nachfrage ist oft recht hoch. Falls Sie einen lyrischen Text vortragen möchten, bringen Sie bitte mindestens 10 (zehn) Kopien mit, damit Ihr Publikum mitlesen kann. Die Kopien erhalten Sie selbstverständlich zurück.
# Wie üben wir Textkritik?
Nach der Idee von Maik Turni
## **Anschleichen**
**Wie wirkt der Text auf mich?** (Keine Angst vor Adjektiven! )
**Was habe ich gehört?** (Zusammenfassung (Nacherzählung))
**Was blieb unverstanden** (akustisch oder logisch)
## **Unter der Lupe**
**Was ist das für ein Text?**
(Prosa: Genre? Lyrik: Welche Art lyrischer Text?)
**Thema**
(Welches Thema berührt der Text? Hat der Autor sein Thema im Griff?
Ist es überzeugend/plausibel/gut recherchiert, vielleicht sogar zu faktenreich?)
**Figuren**
(Wie wirken die Figuren? Wer ist die Hauptfigur? Welches Problem hat die Hauptfigur?)
**Perspektive**
(Wie verhält sich die Erzählperspektive zum Thema / zu den Figuren?)
**Sprache**
(Welche Bilder sind stimmig / welche nicht?
Was lässt sich zum Rhythmus sagen?
Sind die Sätze syntaktisch und grammatikalisch korrekt?)
**Dramaturgie**
(Schafft der Text es, Spannung zu erzeugen? In welcher Reihenfolge werden die Dinge erzählt?)
**Bedeutung**
(Gelingt es dem Autor, die Bedeutung, die er seinem Text geben will, auch im Leser entstehen zu lassen?)
## **Klarspüler**
Fragen werden an den Text gestellt, nicht an den Autor!
Daher sollte der Text antworten.
## **Weichspüler**
Wird bei uns nicht verwendet.
Aber es gilt: Nicht der Autor wird kritisiert, sondern der Text!
Hart zum Text, sanft zum Autor!

**[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w16-2026)**
🔵
This workshop offers queer migrant freelance individuals essential tools for professional development. Led by multidisciplinary artist Hassandra, participants will learn how to craft compelling CVs, navigate open call applications, build effective portfolios, and strengthen their social media presence. Through guided exercises, they will develop a clear language to articulate their vision and practice while gaining confidence to explore their creative and professional potential.
**Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with experiences of migration and/or displacement.**
Queer people with experiences of migration and/or displacement in Berlin often face unique challenges in their daily lives that can limit their access to supportive communities and inclusive environments.
With the support of the **Deutsche Fernsehlotterie Stiftung**, we have developed the Queer Bridges program to overcome these barriers. We provide resources, networking and support in a welcoming environment for queer immigrants and refugees through our special program. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging to the local LGBTQIA+ community, enabling smooth integration and an improved quality of life for queer folks with experiences of migration and/or displacement.
✅ Our **Queer Bridges** program will continue to evolve and we are always happy to hear about your needs. If you are interested, you can send us an e-mail to stay informed about further updates.
**General Information**
**Participants**: This workshop is for all who identify as LGBTQ+ and have experienced migration and/or displacement. If you don’t share these experiences but are interested in joining please reach out to us first to see if space is available. We ask that all participants respect the program’s core focus and contribute to fostering an open respectful space.
**Registration**: This event has limited spots available. Registration through our website is therefore required.
**Language**: English
**Cost:** The event is free of charge.

**Vom Portfolio zur Praxis – Queer Bridges**
##### Kostenlos mit [Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w16-2026/)
Dieser Workshop bietet queeren migrantischen freiberuflichen Personen Werkzeuge für ihre professionelle Entwicklung. Unter der Leitung der multidisziplinären Künstlerin Hassandra lernen die Teilnehmenden, Lebensläufe zu erstellen, Open-Call-Bewerbungen zu meistern, Portfolios aufzubauen und ihre Social-Media-Präsenz zu stärken. Durch angeleitete Übungen entwickeln sie eine klare Sprache, um ihre Vision und Praxis zu artikulieren, Selbstvertrauen zu gewinnen und ihre eigene Stimme im Feld zu finden.
**Queer Bridges: Verbindungen schaffen und Ressourcen für LGBTQIA+ Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung bereitstellen.**
Queere Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung in Berlin sehen sich in ihrem täglichen Leben oft mit besonderen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die ihren Zugang zu unterstützenden Gemeinschaften und integrativen Umgebungen einschränken können.
Mit Unterstützung der **Deutschen Fernsehlotterie Stiftung**, haben wir das Programm Queer Bridges entwickelt, um diese Hürden zu überwinden. Wir bieten Ressourcen, Vernetzung und Unterstützung in einem einladenden Umfeld für queere Migrant\*innen und Geflüchtete durch unser spezielles Programm. Unser Ziel ist es, ein Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit zur lokalen LGBTQIA+ Community zu fördern und damit eine reibungslose Integration sowie eine verbesserte Lebensqualität für queere Menschen mit Migrations- und/oder Fluchterfahrung zu ermöglichen.
✅ Unser **Queer Bridges** Programm wird sich stetig weiter entwickeln und wir freuen uns auch jederzeit von Euren Bedarfen zu hören. Bei Interesse könnt ihr uns eine E-Mail schicken, um über weitere Aktualisierungen informiert zu bleiben.

Wir bitten alle Teilnehmenden, den Schwerpunkt des Programms zu respektieren und dazu beizutragen, einen offenen, respektvollen Raum zu schaffen.

Cellibears Cello Hang and Mini-Workshop: Cello Posture and Positioning
A monthly cello get-together for playing, hanging out, and sharing all things cello. We’ll sight-read ensemble music, swap warm-ups, snack and drink, ask questions, and enjoy making music together without pressure. Each meetup includes a short, informal mini-workshop on a rotating topic — come as you are, play what you can, stay as long as you like.
15€ cover fee (includes snacks & drinks).
**Topic this month: Cello Posture and Positioning with Natasha Jaffe** Clean up your position to use your body optimally - a good basic technique is the key to being able to play fluidly, beautifully, or quickly, as well as being able to play for many many years of your life. We'll look at places where unnecessary tension builds, ways to use your body weight, gravity, and physics to optimize your motions and make cello playing more effortless.
**You should be able to play the cello at least as a beginner (1st position) to participate.**
***
Ein monatliches Cello-Get-together zum Spielen, Abhängen und Austauschen. Wir lesen locker Ensemble-Stücke vom Blatt, teilen Warm-ups, snacken, trinken, stellen Cello-Fragen und machen gemeinsam Musik – ganz ohne Druck. Jedes Treffen hat außerdem einen kurzen, entspannten Mini-Workshop zu einem wechselnden Thema. Komm wie du bist, spiel was geht, bleib so lange du willst.
15 € Beitrag (Snacks & Getränke inklusive).
**Thema dieses Monat: Cello Posture and Positioning with Natasha Jaffe**
Optimiere deine Haltung, um deinen Körper optimal einzusetzen – eine gute Grundtechnik ist der Schlüssel zu flüssigem, schönem und schnellem Spiel sowie zu einer langen, gesunden Spielkarriere. Wir werden uns ansehen, wo sich unnötige Verspannungen aufbauen, und wie du dein Körpergewicht, die Schwerkraft und physikalische Prinzipien nutzen kannst, um deine Bewegungen zu optimieren und das Cellospielen müheloser zu gestalten.
**Du musst das Cello schon spielen, wenigstens in der 1e Lage, um mitzumachen.**

**🎤 Tech Beyond Borders - Rwanda’s Role in Rethinking Global Tech Collaboration**
This talk explores how global tech collaboration is evolving beyond traditional outsourcing models toward more integrated and equitable partnerships. It highlights Rwanda’s growing role as a strategic tech location, where international companies and local teams co-create products with shared ownership and responsibility. Drawing on real-world experiences from Rwandan developers working in international teams, the discussion showcases how these collaborations move beyond execution to include active contribution to product design and decision-making. It features Garage B, which supports startups in building the digital solutions they need while providing hands-on experience and project work opportunities for Rwandan junior developers through these collaborations.

**🎤 "Less Tools, More Impact: The Three Roles Your AI Strategy Needs" & "From Chaos to Clarity: Implementing AI Roles That Deliver Impact"**

In this talk, we introduce three human-centered roles—Curator, Synthesizer, and Translator—that turn scattered AI efforts into measurable impact. Learn how to embed these roles, align teams, and lead AI projects that actually work, all while driving real business outcomes.

\- 12:30 \- Discussion of books/ projects over coffee
Afterwards, join for lunch if you'd like (optional).
**Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️
* **To reserve your place, a ticket (€9,90/event) or a community pass (only €19,90/MONTH) [from the website](https://pausify.org/) *www.pausify.org* is required**
* **Attendance here doesn’t show all sign-ups from other platforms. We usually have about 50 to 100 people at each event.**
***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?***
Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*.
Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.

April Book Club
* Second ever book club! April meet up. All are welcome.
* The book will be Play Nice by Rachel Harrison (determined by votes from March Book Club. Let me know if you’d like a free digital copy of the book)
* This event will be at the main library, meeting room 1B, the location will not be changed for this event due to the number of people attending, we will just add more chairs if needed!
* Feel free to come whether or not you’ve started or finished the book ◡̈
* Small snacks will be provided. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks & drinks too!
Starting in June I will try to keep future book clubs at the Dublin Library.
Now that I understand their reservation system, I will be on top of it with booking that location as soon as the date is released for the month. Thanks for your understanding with the varying locations in the meantime.
