Midtown Writers Group

We meet in person at Salsa A La Salsa in the Midtown Global Market.

Please bring a mask—Although a mask is optional while you are writing, you must wear a mask when you are speaking into the microphone.

What we are about—Our meetups are about generating writing. We set a time (usually from 1 to 7 minutes), choose a prompt, and then we write. When the time is up, each person has the option to read or pass. Then we do it again.

What we do and don't do—We do enjoy the creative process, turn off our inner editors, let our imaginations play, and have fun! We don't do any critiquing. We don't read anything written outside of the Meetup.

Bring your favorite pen and notebook—but please leave your laptop at home. If you need assistive tech, please bring whatever you need and let the leader know when you arrive. Otherwise you will get plied with spare notebooks and extra pens.

Enter through the lobby—The Lake Street doors are not open at 9 am. The lobby is near the back of the building. If the door on the Chicago Avenue side is locked, ring the buzzer so the guard can let you in. Salsa A La Salsa is just off the lobby on the Chicago Avenue side.
