The Writing Room: Five Wednesdays for People Who've Been Meaning to Write
About this Event
A 5-Week Workshop for People Who've Been Meaning to Write
Each week, a small group of eight community members will gather around a short reading, pick up our pens, and write for ten uninterrupted minutes. 2-3 times each session.
Prompts will be provided, but their use is not required. With Bobby Hulme-Lippert facilitating, group members will share their writing, listen to each other, and do it again. It's in the act of writing and sharing that the best discoveries arrive.
There are no workshop critiques, no homework, and no experience required — only curiosity and the willingness to show up.
Come to one. Come to all five.
Every Wednesday stands on its own. Register for the weeks you can make — one, three, all of them. Eight seats per class, and each one fills separately.

Bobby Hulme-Lippert is a writer, leadership coach, and the author of Small Stories about Big Things, a collection of forty-five short pieces drawn from the everyday moments that can be easy to miss. An award-winning storyteller and member of Oak Park-River Forest Chamber of Commerce and Oak Park Toastmasters, Bobby has spent years workshopping stories — and learned, again and again, that the page comes most alive when we stop trying to get it right and simply start writing. With others. He lives in Oak Park with his wife and two young boys.
