Morning Pages: No Typewriters / No Talking

Settle in for No Typewriters / No Talking — a drop-in, morning writing session. The session has two rules, and they’re in the name.

Indulge in one hour of shared sustained silence, in a simple ritual to concentrate on the thing we want to do — but so often find many reasons not to — write.

Writers of any stage, genre, format, or style are invited to come work together for one hour in a shared space.

You can write with anything: biro on notepad, fingers on laptop, quill on vellum — just not a typewriter.

Jackson Wood

Jackson Wood is the Editor-in-Chief of No Typewriters / No Talking. Frustrated with writing groups in general and typewriters in particular, Jackson started NT/NT with the help of Tempo Rubato to bring writers together in a low key way in post-pandemic Naarm / Melbourne. Born in Aotearoa New Zealand, you can now find him lurking around Brunswick and writing for publications like Webworm.
