How Up with the Crows Works
Up with the Crows is built around one simple idea: make a little room for the writing before the demands of the day begin. We gather, settle in, and write quietly alongside one another.
Arrive
Come as you are. Bring the manuscript, notebook, journal, or project you want to work on.
Settle In
There is no lesson to prepare for and nothing to submit. The room is simply there to help you begin.
Write
We write quietly together, each person working independently on whatever needs attention that morning.
Begin Again
Return the next morning and do it again. Small, regular periods of protected writing time can build real momentum.
No critique. No workshop. No pressure to perform. Just writers showing up for the work.

Who Up with the Crows Is For
Up with the Crows is for writers at any stage who want to make writing a more regular part of their day. You might be working on a novel, memoir, short story, journal, poem, or simply trying to find your way back to the page.
You do not need to prepare anything, submit anything, or share what you write. Just bring the work and show up.
