Coming Up

Come along to the Archival Union writing sprints!

Work, cogitate, scheme, dream on whatever you want in a communal space. Here’s how we do:

  • two-hour session
  • drop in and take off anytime during the two hours
  • log on to an online space
  • everyone will be muted for the duration of the writing sprint
  • chat will be available, but we’re here to grind in communion, so keeping chitty-chat to a minimum to reduce distraction
  • cameras can be on or off

You can find a list of dates and times on the AU calendar.
