PEN TO POWER: A Co-Writing Fundraiser

COMMUNITY & CREATIVITY FOR INAUGURATION WEEKEND

SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, 2025

9:30-11:30am PT / 12:30-2:30pm ET — REMOTE ON ZOOM

Are you feeling creatively stunted and deeply sad about the state of the world? Join the Midwives of Invention for a collective co-writing session where we’ll focus on imagination and possibility.

Our goals are simple and monumental: Stay creative. Stay connected.

This two-hour collective writing session that aims to do both of these things—while also raising some money for a good cause. Instead of despairing alone, spend some time in (online) community with a group of fellow writers and turn your rage into words on the page! We’ll each chip in a bit of cash for TK to make a large collective donation. Think of it like a danceathon for your fingers on the keyboard.

Join us with your camera on or off, with an ongoing project or a blank document. Before we begin writing, Ann and Jade will offer a few prompts you can use to tap into your imaginative power. Then, we’ll all write together. (We did this last year and it was so fun and generative, we decided to bring it back for 2026!)

Creativity and community are the way forward. We’re excited to write with you.
