The Fiction Workshop
Welcome to the Shanghai Writing Workshop. We are interested in everything related to creative writing, and we hope you can join us.
If you're interested in joining, you'll need to join our wechat chat group to let us know if you're lost on your way to the meeting. You can wechat me at texaswriter, and I can get you added. I also encourage you to scan the QR code above to join our official wechat channel. There you can get detailed directions on how to find us, how to sign up for our website (www.shanghaiwriting.com), and details on how we function.
There's a new short prompt available on the website that's updated for each meeting. Try and post a response a few days before meeting if you want others a chance to comment on it.
You also don't have to submit. Readers are always welcome, but I do find that reading before meeting greasy increases the joy of going to meeting.
No experience required. We are a mixed group in terms of experience, backgrounds, and languages, but I find that we are also very supportive of each other in everything from goals to reading to publishing.
In addition to the standard workshop, the Shanghai Writing Workshop hosts two writing retreats a year, puts forward a team for the three day novel writing competition, hosts a reading series called Shanghai Voices, and puts together an ebook anthology of work at the end of every year. We're always doing something, and if you have any ideas, we're always up for anything literature related.
Once again, if you need help getting setup, contact me on wechat, texaswriter, and I hope to see you at the workshop.

时间走到年中
这座城市里的很多人
已经完成了上半年的一次阶段性跃迁
有人在AI浪潮中寻找新的机会
有人正在推进新的项目与资本布局
有人完成了一次身份与圈层的升级
也有人,正在迈向人生与事业的下一个阶段
而真正重要的事情
往往发生在人与人的连接之间
As we arrive at the midpoint of the year, a new generation of influential people in Shanghai is quietly reshaping industries, capital, technology, and the future itself. Some are building companies in the age of AI, some are positioning themselves ahead of the next market shift, some are expanding their influence, networks, and global reach, and some are simply entering a new chapter of life and ambition.
我们将在上海艾迪逊酒店 Club Room
举办一场属于上海城市新贵、创业者、投资人、海归精英与高净值人群的年中交流盛会
这里不仅是一场社交酒会,更像是一场属于这个时代“向上生长的人”的阶段性相聚
在这个位于城市中心的私密雅致空间
原木与皮革的沉稳质感
搭配夜色中轻柔流动的氛围光影
构建一场融合品位与格调的社交体验
Julia’s Events invites you to an exclusive Mid-Year Gala at the iconic Club Room of The Shanghai EDITION. An evening designed for founders, investors, global professionals, returnees, and the city’s most connected and forward-thinking minds. This private and elegantly appointed space blends warm wood, leather textures, and ambient lighting to create a setting of understated luxury and modern taste.
我们相信:真正高质量的社交
从来不是低效寒暄
而是在某一个刚刚好的时间节点
遇见那些和你一样
正在创造、布局、思考未来的人
这一晚关于趋势、资本、机会、视野与圈层
也关于下一阶段的人生与可能性
The most valuable opportunities rarely happen in formal meetings. They happen in rooms filled with the right people, people with vision, access, influence, and momentum. This evening is not simply about networking. It is about entering a circle
where conversations shape future opportunities, capital meets ideas, and meaningful connections begin.
🥂 微醺交流 · 高端圈层社交

The lounges are lined throughout with crisply detailed oak tripartite panels reminiscent of the classic Oak Rooms of the period
酒店五层是复古绅士俱乐部艾迪逊空间,是上海聚会的时尚地标。 艾迪逊空间主打20世纪早期的绅士社交俱乐部风格,集独特私密氛围、大胆细腻的设计于一身。 休息区四周布满了纹理细腻的橡木装饰,回溯到上世纪经典的橡木房。
The Shanghai EDITION, located at the northeast corner of Nanjing Road East and Henan Road in Puxi, West of Huangpu River and just a 5-minute walk from The Bund, is a unique combination of two separate towers featuring 145 guest rooms.
上海艾迪逊酒店独树一帜,融合了真实、摩登与个性的新型酒店理念,有别于过往及未来的任何一家艾迪逊酒店,它是这座城市和当下时代独一无二的产物。这不仅仅是一家隐匿于闹市中的摩登精品酒店,更是一个集优雅设计和精美布局于一身的现代绿洲,致力为宾客创造别具一格的环境。在这座繁华热闹的都市中心,上海艾迪逊酒店开辟了一个舒适迷人的空间,巧妙保留当地原汁原味的建筑特色,唤起跨世代的情感共鸣。

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event.
**Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks.
This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations.
Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
