Writing retreats, books, courses.

A room full of people on typewriters sounds like rain or slow applause, depending on the night.

Every morning I freewrite on one of these beasts. I spent years working in tech and seeing everyone's voice get replaced by AI.

Now I host typewriter events so people can come together and unplug, which is easy on a machine that was never plugged in.

"My novel was literally transformed in a day. I expected the block I had been feeling to go away, but I didn't expect the floodgates of creativity to open as they did."

Jennifer Sage

Nobody is blocked for lack of talent.

People get stuck because every tool they write with now is trying to make them sound like everyone else, and because they were trained to edit the thought before they've finished having it. Most of the work is undoing that.

All it takes is a question, some quiet, a machine with no undo or internet connection, and the nerve to keep going until you reach the part where it gets interesting.

Come to a Typewriter Social

I bring a fleet of vintage typewriters and we write together for a couple of hours. No experience needed. The machines do the hard part.
