Writing Hours

Poetry, fiction, nonfiction, memoir, essays, weird hybrid things that don’t have a name yet — you’re welcome here.

What this is:
📖 A bi-weekly writing meet-up (every two weeks on Fridays)
☕ We meet in different coffee shops around the city
🧠 A way to get out of the house and write alongside other writers
🤝 Gentle accountability, community, and shared focus

What this is not:
❌ A workshop
❌ Forced sharing
❌ Pressure to talk if you don’t want to

You can:

• Write quietly
• Chat a bit
• Discuss projects (or not!)
• Just exist in a room where other people are also writing

Sometimes we’ll check in, sometimes we won’t. The goal is simple: show up and work on your book — together.

About me 👋
My name is Lera. I’m a poet and a PhD student at Concordia University, currently working on my first poetry book. I started this group because writing alone at home can feel isolating, and writing near other people can be surprisingly powerful. I also love discovering new coffee shops in Montreal so you can join me in this coffee shop-book-writing crawl.

If you’ve been looking for a reason to take your writing seriously (without turning it into a stressful productivity contest) this space is for you.

Let’s build books, slowly, together 💛
