We’re going to think about what it’s like to be a person on the internet. We’re going to think about the places people hang out on the internet (whether it’s YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Gmail, Google Docs or Facebook) and think about what’s natural and native to how they communicate with us. Then we’ll explore ways […]

The Space, a dedicated (virtual) space for us to write alone, together. Think of it as your favourite library, a coffee shop, or a co-working space. It’s a room full of writers at work, and it’s a way of making a commitment to yourself to show up and write. Pop in to The Space to […]
