Institute launches daily writing group starting Thursday

The National Press Club Journalism Institute is starting a daily writing group for people who want to support each other’s work from wherever they are.  

 

The group will meet Mondays through Fridays on Zoom. You can come once or come often, whatever works best for you. The half-hour daily gatherings, from 11:30 a.m.-noon ET, will include a writing prompt, breakout sessions for a thoughtful discussion of work in progress, and an invitation to write for the next day. 

 

The group will serve nonfiction writers, whether you hope to turn a journal entry into a personal essay or you’re a newsroom journalist who wants to improve your work. Memoirists, biographers, historians, whatever your preferred nonfiction form of writing — all are welcome. 

 

There will also be a Slack channel available to participants so they can continue talking when the group isn’t meeting. 

 

To request a spot, provide your information here. Participants will receive a calendar invitation and the Zoom link. 

 

The group will meet for the first time on Thursday, April 2.
