This summer, we offered our Hour Stories writing circle programming during the Federation of BC Writers Summer Writing Challenge. It was so popular, we’re doing it again — and you should totally join us.
Starting Friday, October 3, and going through October 31, we will meet for five Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Pacific time. During this two-and-a-half-hour writing circle, we’ll write together on our Pulp Lit Discord server, guided by the Hour Stories cards. The goal: You’ll write approximately 1000 words of your work-in-progress with immediate feedback in a friendly and supportive environment.
About Hour Stories (developed by Dale Adams Segal):
A writing circle can be one of the most positive and powerful sources of feedback and encouragement in the otherwise solitary occupation of writing. The Hour Stories process provides a framework for generating new material in a short time, often about a thousand words in just a few hours. Writers use specially designed prompts to spark creativity, deepen insight, and move past blocks. The process blends individual writing time with group sharing, allowing participants to gain both fresh pages and constructive feedback. Many writers find that the prompts open unexpected doors, leading their stories in surprising and exciting directions.
Spaces are limited to twenty (20) participants, and it’s only $199 CAD for five Fridays. I did the math, and that’s like $15~ish bucks an hour. You’re allowing yourself to spend $15~ish an hour on yourself to accomplish imperative, life-affirming act: writing. Register here!
We have AWESOME PulpFemme news!
Feel like fighting?
Yeah, the headlines of late have been a lot. Rage-inducing, one might even say. Instead of spiraling into an online spitting match or picking a fight with someone at your favourite coffee shop, I suggest you channel all that ferocious energy into a sizzling work of fiction. Then when you’ve gotten it to a point where you’re ready to show the world, submit your first 500 polished words to our First Page Cage Match. The winning entry wins $300, and everyone who enters is gifted a one-year digital subscription for Pulp Literature.
Never forget: In dark times, writing is an act of rebellion. Now lace up those gloves and punch that rage into the page.
