Writers in their twenties and thirties of any genre/form and any experience level are invited to The Porch to connect and share. Facilitated by Alexis (Öz) Özden, Kyle McCarthy, and Sara Delheimer, each meetup will include time to get to know each other, a generative prompt or exercise, time to write, and space for sharing and discussion.
We hope you will take time out of your busy week to engage with your creative self. We’d be honored to write with you.
These affinity group meetups are free to attend, but we compensate our facilitators to ensure a high-quality experience and a safe, welcoming space. If you’re able, please consider making a donation of $10–$30 to help us sustain these valuable programs at The Porch.
Please Note: Starting in July 2026, the Porch will start to charge a $5 fee for non-members (and free for members) to help sustain this program, continue compensating instructors, and keep offering low-cost, high-quality programming. If this fee is a barrier for you, please apply to our tuition assistance form to request a waiver. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to offer low-cost programming.
