No Typewriters / No Talking

A group for writers with two rules, they're in the name. Based in Naarm / Melbourne. Find out when our next silent writing session is 👉 notypewriters.com
Jelena Potpara's poem 'What is a Bat?' is the first piece in Patter.

Potpara's cute little poem was inspired by one of her nieces and exudes whimsy and playfulness off the page.

It's the perfect way to dive into this eclectic collection of poetry, prose, and non-fiction.

Did you know we're starting our very own literary journal?

Patter will give No Typewriters / No Talking attendees — you — a nice little pathway to publication.

We'll consider pretty much anything: from poetry to prose, self indulgent auto-fiction to academic essays.

Send it in.
