1. Schedule
 

You're eligible to come to as many sessions as you want, including Writers Blok PLUS Sessions (Q&As/guest speakers), which happen about once a week. 

 

2. Rules

Generally, we try to keep things quiet and meditative in the writing zone of Writers Blok. Please, no phone calls, chatting, or loud food while we're in session. We're happy to have people talking and hanging out in the Lounge area or outside, though. When it comes to the sessions: late arrivals are no problem, but we do hope you'll be mindful (if you do arrive late) that the place gets fairly calm once people get to work. Simply take care as you make your way to a chair. 

We like to say that our sessions are like stories, with a beginning, middle, and end. So, if you come to a session, plan to stay through the end. A big part of what we're doing involves the construction of a writing community, which is aided significantly by our small-group breakouts. If you absolutely must leave a session early, please notify the front desk when you arrive.

3. Nametags

Please bring and then wear your nametag whenever you're at Writers Blok. Our "secret sauce" is the community we've built and that starts with people knowing one another's names. We have around 150 members and your contact with some of those members will be intermittent. Our nametags make it easier for people to become familiar with each other.

Each day you come to Writers Blok, we'll stamp your nametag. When you get to...

 

5 stamps: tote bag

10 stamps: a pass so you can bring a friend to Writers Blok for a session

20 stamps: T-shirt

40 stamps: notebook

100 stamps: your name goes on a blo(c)k!
