Mini "Sit & Write": A generative 1-hour co-working session. This WOTS 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 (www.shendelman.com/sitandwrite). 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 is a trans man living near Philadelphia with his husband and dogs. After studying creative writing at the Orange County High School of the Arts, Julian pursued—and ultimately abandoned—an academic career as a queer theorist. Since then, Julian has turned his attention to reconnecting with his writing practice and community. His poetry chapbook, “Dead Dad Club,” was published by Nomadic Press in 2017 and his writing has appeared in Bat City Review. He was a 2012 Lambda Literary Fellow in nonfiction. When he's not at his day job, he's attending his weekly writing group and learning to make up stories.
