Writing Group Berlin ✍️ | FIRST DRAFT — Write Your Book Together

Wer ein Buch schreiben will, scheitert oft an der eigenen Disziplin. In der Amerika-Gedenkbibliothek trifft sich eine Gruppe, um gemeinsam an Texten zu arbeiten. Das Prinzip ist simpel. In drei Schreibsprints von jeweils 50 Minuten entsteht der erste Entwurf, unterbrochen von kurzen Pausen. Der Fokus liegt auf dem Fortschritt statt auf Theorie. Nach der Schreibzeit bleibt Raum für Austausch. Es geht um Planung, Projektmanagement für Texte und die gegenseitige Unterstützung bei Schreibblockaden.

Hi, I’m Khushboo Sangwan, a left-handed creative writer and project manager living in Berlin. I’ve always dreamed of writing a book. 📖 But somehow, life keeps getting in the way. Work, responsibilities, other plans, and suddenly another year has passed and that first draft is still sitting somewhere in your head. 💻 I know how difficult it is to stay consistent when you’re doing it alone. ✍️ So I decided to stop waiting for the perfect time and create the kind of writing group I wished I had. And I’m not going to sit there and tell you what to do while you write. I’ll be writing my own book with you. 📕 Every Saturday, we’ll meet for focused writing time, take a couple of short breaks, and then spend some time talking about what we’re working on, helping each other through creative blocks and figuring out what comes next. 📚💡 I’ll also help you look at your book like a creative project. We can talk about planning, timelines, accountability, Notion, finishing your first draft and, eventually, how to start thinking about literary agents and getting published. 📑 Our first session 15:00 Arrive & settle in 15:10–16:00 Writing sprint ⏳ 16:00–16:10 Break 💛 16:10–17:00 Writing sprint ⏳ 17:00–17:10 Break 💛 17:10–18:00 Writing sprint ⏳ 18:00–18:30 Discussion, brainstorming & support 💬 This is completely free. I’m starting this because I genuinely believe that we can finish our books if we stop trying to do it alone. I want to see your first draft in your hands six months from now. 🍀 And I want mine there too. 📖 If you’ve been dreaming about becoming an author and you’re serious about finally doing something about it, come join me. ❤️ Bring your laptop. Bring your unfinished story. Bring the idea that’s been sitting in your head for years. Let’s write our books together. And let’s see if, six months from now, we can call ourselves published authors. ✍️
