Calling all writers who need time and space and no distractions! Whether you are just starting a project, thick in the middle of it, or needing to finish it, come spend one and a half days with other writers at Rhizome DC. You will have your own table and space to throw papers and books on the floor, and lots of quiet. Space will be shared but not tight (if you’ve been to Rhizome, imagine two people in each room, each with their own table). Coffee, tea, snacks, and vegetarian lunch provided. Phones will be squirreled away by Rhizome’s own squirrels. For an extra fee, we won’t give you the wifi password. (Just kidding; we won’t give it to you for free.)

Featuring:
-an inspiring space (old house, big windows, beautiful art) - tables outside if weather is nice!
-delicious vittles you don’t have to plan yourself
-supportive sharing and strategizing as desired
-one and a half days of focused work

The Rhizome Writers Collective knows how hard it is to enter that writerly trance/get sh*t done. We’re here to facilitate the magic!

We have space for 8 people.
