Hey Writer Friends,
For those of you who have picked up on some of the regular rhythms of my monthly calendars, I will warn you that this June is going to feel a little “off beat.” Between mom-bligations, the end of my son’s elementary school career and the beginning of summer schedules leaking into the end of the school year, this was a tough nut to crack. As always, if there is a meeting you had your heart set on attending and the slide of the schedule is making that impossible for you, let me know so I can see if there’s a way to make the magic happen at another time (or, at the very least, for me to tally up the IOUs I need to pay up on next month!).
If you are subscribed to the Stop Writing Alone Google Calendar (paid subscribers can Direct Message me with the email address they want to connect to the calendar), you have had the calendar for a couple of hours now and your upcoming events looks like this:
If you are looking for the traditional colorful chaos I deliver each month, keep on scrolling!

Here is a pdf of the June 2025 calendar of events.
What It Looks Like
What Are The “Open to All Writers” Events This Month?
This month there’s ONE MEETING TWO MEETINGS (updated June 11th) open to all writers:
Announced on June 11, 2025, Stop Writing Alone Writing Prompt Parties are coming bout from behind the paywall. Read the announcement here:
Writing Prompt Parties are (at least) an hour of fun where we chat, I share a writing prompt, and then I set a timer so we can all write a really fast, messy, first draft piece of flash fiction that we then READ ALOUD to each other. It sounds terrifying, but I promise it will inspireyou and your writing in more ways than you can count! It’s the number one meeting type I recommend for new-to-me writers! Please consider joining us when your schedule allows, and make sure to share this news with a writer who you think would love to party!
Social Saturday is a two hour mix of chat and writing sprints open to all writers interested in a social spice up to a little bit of their work week.
Know a writer who would love to join us?
I’m hoping once you join us and see how valuable these experiences are for yourself, you will understand why joining the paid subscription is worth your while.
If you are not yet a paid subscriber, the investment is either $15/month (THAT’S LESS THAN $1 PER MEETING THIS MONTH!!), or $150/year (that gives you two months for free!). Here are some of the reasons why I think you should make this investment today:
