A generative 1-hour co-working session. This TOTS event will give you a sample of what to expect from the full 2.5 hour version of Sit & Write (S&W). S&W is a free online writing group that meets for 2.5 hours on Saturday afternoons (collectivelit.com). Meetings are always free, supportive, and do not require any commitment. While full-length meetings have a drop-in format, please plan to arrive on time and stay for the duration of this Blue Stoop mini S&W. Agenda: Brief intro (5 min), check-in (5 min), silent working (45-ish min), check-out (5 min).

Julian Shendelman lives with his husband and dogs near Philadelphia. After pursuing—and ultimately abandoning—an academic career as a queer/trans theorist, Julian turned his attention to re-establishing his writing practice and community. His poetry chapbook, “Dead Dad Club,” was published by Nomadic Press in 2017, his creative nonfiction has appeared in Philadelphia Stories, and his fiction is forthcoming in Cleaver Magazine (March 2024). When he's not freelancing, he's running Collective Lit.
