About us

While writing requires solitude, it can often become a lonely endeavour. This group aims to carve out 2 hours every week to sit and write together in silence. It's not a workshop, or feedback session; just the act of writing itself. Getting the work done.

I’m hoping to meet aspiring writers; it doesn’t matter what you write—whether it’s the next great novel or a college essay. As long as you have something to write/create, you’re welcome. Thereafter, we may sit and talk about writing, or about anything under the sun. Or, you could just return.

I started this group because most writing groups seem to fizzle out after a while and with writing, consistency is key. I wanted to have a space, where, we can build a community of writers, experienced or otherwise. And my promise? Regardless of who attends, I'll be there—writing.

We've been writing together around for more than 3 years now!

# Introduction and Purpose:

Write Together is a two-hour focused writing session that brings writers together to work on whatever project, idea, draft, or creative work they choose. This is not a workshop; there is no instruction, curriculum, or prescribed topic. Participants work independently on whatever they are currently writing, or thinking of writing, for the full duration of the session.

The Thursday session is our flagship Write Together gathering and has been running consistently for three years. It takes place every Thursday.

# Agenda:

Arrival & Orientation: Participants are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early. Look for Shankar near the entrance of Plump for a brief orientation to the space and session flow.

Focused Writing Session (2 hours): Writers work quietly and independently on their own chosen projects throughout the session.

Optional Social: The session is typically capped with an informal social at the pub downstairs. Participation is entirely optional and offers space to connect and converse after the writing period.

# Venue:

Write Together (Thursday) is hosted at Plump Bangsar, a cafe lined with books, references to literature, and writing. It has a lovely indoor section with a balcony with additional tables with greenery.

# Requirements:

  1. You must write or create — something, anything. Other forms of creative or expressive work are also welcome.
  2. Please purchase at least one drink from the venue to support the space hosting the session.
