Join us in person at Buzz & Perch in Centretown for a Critique Info Session and Write-In featuring 20 minute sprints!  

If you’re interested in participating in future Critique Sessions, please come meet one of our organizers and some of your peers so that you can learn more about how we run the sessions and decide if they’re what you’re looking for. One of our organizers will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

The Write-In Session will be running at the same time and you’re welcome to join in, regardless of whether you are also there to hear more about the critique group

We’ll be taking little breaks to chat about what we’re working on or workshop narrative tangles between each sprint. Bring a WIP or some ideas as well as your writing implement(s) of choice! Feel free to write, edit, or brainstorm. There is no pressure to produce anything during the 20 minute sprint sessions, we just ask that you keep to yourself and not talk to your fellow writers during those focus periods. We recommend bringing music or noise-cancelling earbuds/headphones if you think it would help you focus!

If you’re using a laptop, please try to come with it already charged as we won’t know ahead of time if we will have any power outlets available for our group to use.

Look for a little Writers of Ottawa sign at a table if it’s your first time joining us.

Can’t wait to write with you!
