Where do you want to be?

Rooms are somewhere you have to get to at nine in the morning, so the city is the first thing that decides whether any of this works for you.

We guessed this from your connection. It is a guess.

Rooms are open in

Nowhere else yet. Standups run on a call, so those work from wherever you are, and they show up whatever you pick here.

Words on the page, three mornings a week, with people who will notice if you stop.

What this is

For novelists. You arrive, you say what you are working on, and then you work.

The venue

On a call.

We send you the exact address and how to get in when you book.

If you need to withdraw

Withdraw before 23 August: full refund of €260.00. Withdraw before session 7 (7 September) and you get back the sessions you have not used, less €15.00. That comes to about €114.98 if you leave at that point. The €15.00 goes to your host, who held the seat. After that we refund nothing, the seat stays held for you, and you are welcome to keep coming. If your host cancels a session, they reschedule it or refund it. If they cancel the whole run, you get back everything they have not delivered, including anything you had already forfeited.

Your host

Messages reach Mariana Almeida through there. Call 112 for an emergency during a session.
