Join Meg at kiosk studio for Write, Now, a creative writing group offered over three generative sessions.

Write, Now! is an in-person creative writing group offered at Kiosk Studio (in Chelsea, Quebec.) This group is perfect for people who want to write more, meet other writers, and talk about writing… while also feeling a very reasonable amount of panic about all three. Scroll down for info about masking and accessibility.

If you’ve ever thought I wish I wrote more followed immediately by yes, but not in front of people, you are exactly who this is for.

We welcome the brand-new and the slightly nervous, the long-time journal keepers, the secret poets, the lapsed novelists, and the curious wanderers who aren’t quite sure what they write yet. At Write, Now!, the goal isn’t perfection — it’s momentum, play, and permission.

Together we’ll use generative prompts, small experiments, and collaborative exercises to get words onto the page (sometimes surprisingly easily). Along the way, we’ll practice how to share writing in a way that feels safe, respectful, and actually enjoyable. There will also be space for relaxed, gently guided conversations about the writing life — blocks, habits, inspiration, doubts, and the strange mystery of why characters suddenly refuse to cooperate.

You won’t need to prepare anything. You won’t be put on the spot. You won’t be judged.

You will leave with new pages, new ideas, and probably new people you’re happy to see again — plus a growing sense that writing isn’t something you someday start.

It’s something you can do right now.

Where: Kiosk Studio in Chelsea, Quebec.

When: We meet biweekly from 9:30am-11:30am on Saturdays. March 21, April 3, and April 10.

What: A gentle, generative writing group for people who want to meet other writers, talk about writing, and get words on the page.

Who it is for: No writing experience is needed, and writers of any and all genres are welcome. New, nervous and neurodivergent writers welcome. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s momentum, play, and permission. This is a perfect space for folks who might like to share their newly created words, and hold space for others to do the same.

What you can expect: A small group. (Max 12 people.) Generative prompts, small experiments, and collaborative exercises to get words onto the page (sometimes surprisingly easily). Along the way, we’ll practice how to share writing in a way that feels safe, respectful, and enjoyable. There will also be space for relaxed, gently guided conversations about the writing life — blocks, habits, inspiration, doubts, and the strange mystery of why characters suddenly refuse to cooperate.

What we expect: No writing experience is necessary, however enthusiasm is. This is a space where showing up and holding space for each other is as powerful as putting words on the page.

Supplies: Pen and paper, or whatever you like writing with. All other supplies will be provided.

Cost: $130 CAD.
