Collaborating Writers

Our Vision

If you want to be excellent at something, it's extremely useful to do it every day. Athletes, musicians, and writers famously live by this advice. Separately, one of the world's strongest motivators is to be surrounded by ambitious, like-minded people.

For the month of November, we're running a residency for talented writers to hone their craft by writing and publishing a blogpost every single day. We provide food and housing at-cost, so that you can focus on writing.

We'll offer whatever we can to improve the writing experience and help the resident writers grow stronger.

But all that will be optional. Your pps are simply to be here and write.

I do honestly think that, on many days, you will be able to get 500 words done before noon, and then spend the rest of the day developing other ideas and essays you've been working on.
