About

Designed to help authors build discipline and momentum by writing for two hours, each meeting provides a quiet, focused space to write alongside fellow writers, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.

During the first session, you'll set a personalized word count goal for the month — whether that’s 50,000 words or another target that fits your schedule and project. Weekly check-ins offer accountability and encouragement to help writers stay on track. No matter what your current work-in-progress may be, this month-long meetup offers the structure and support you need to make consistent progress.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.

Instructor
Emily Smiley

Emily, a writer from South Carolina who now calls Seattle home, crafts stories that reflect the world back to her readers, inviting them to explore deeper truths within themselves. Her novel, Treading Water, came in first in the horror category of the 2024 Pacific Northwest Writers' Association (PNWA) unpublished competition. She’s the programming coordinator for the Writer’s Studio at BARN. She’s also a member of the PNWA and the Seattle Chapter of the Horror Writers Association. Emily is a co-founder of Content Hospital, a speculative fiction writers marketing collective, and is represented by A.J. Van Belle at the Booker Albert Literary Agency. When she’s not giving her readers nightmares, she’s running, traveling, reading, or playing video games.
