Work Space

Description

When writers work together, something magical happens. Spend an entire day working on your project and getting inspired with Lana Guineay.

Work Space is a welcoming place to get together with other writers and write. Over the course of a day, we'll dig deep to focus on our writing and add to our word counts. Whether you have the spark of an idea, a work-in-progress, or want to get a creative project on track, this day is designed for you to chat with fellow writers, work on your projects, have a hot drink, and most importantly....get writing.

Crafted for writers of all genres and forms, if you're a writer looking for a generative space to work and chat with other people devoted to writing, this is the day writing group for you.
