The Office of Modern Composition is pleased to announce that this Spring we’ll be hosting (FREE!) monthly in-person co-writes.
A co-write is when you show up to a specific place with another writer and sit and write together for an agreed-upon amount of time. Since 2020, OMC has hosted weekly co-writes that meet online (you can find those on our MeetUp page). But now, if you’re interested in joining us in person, we’re inviting you to come write with us at––get this––the actual, literal office of the Office of Modern Composition.
What will it be like?
You’ll bring your computer or your notebook to our office and work in our space. When your mind wanders, you’ll be able to gaze out the windows at pretty Lake Michigan. The event is a totally free, totally casual, totally supportive opportunity for writers to come together and Just. Write. Spend 90 minutes journaling, putting the finishing touches on your novel, writing a limerick, or drafting a love letter.
Bodacious snacks are provided.
When and where will it be?
The first Wednesday of the month:
Wednesday, March 5th from 4-5:30 pm
Wednesday, April 2nd from 4-5:30 pm
Wednesday, May 7th from 4–5:30 pm
Office of Modern Composition, Suite 2002
8 S. Michigan Avenue, Suite 2002, Chicago, IL 60615
What should I bring?
Whatever you need to do your writing: a computer and a charger (if you think you’ll need to charge it while you’re there) or paper notebook and pen; a portable typewriter; whatever works for you.
Can I invite somebody else to come with me?
Yep, great idea. Go ahead.
The Office of Modern Composition is a Chicago-based writing studio that both makes compositions and fosters compositions. To learn more about the compositions we make (like our podcast on nature and cities, The Shape of the World) and the work we do, visit our website.
