What we’re about
This group is for every type of writer: whether you're brand new to the craft or a seasoned professional. The purpose of this group is to create a space for people to write whatever, and however, they want. At each meeting, writers are welcome to share their writing and ask for feedback. This is also a space to meet other international and local community members interested in writing.
All forms of writing are welcome, and there is no language requirement. Please send me a message if you have questions.

- Monday Morning WritersSuribachi, Porto
Start your week right! Join us for some dedicated writing time at the beginning of each week to get you into the flow and hopefully keep your writing on track for the rest of the week. Writers of all types and genres are welcome! Be sure to bring a pen/paper, laptop, tablet, or anything else you need to write with.
The meeting's format will be 90 minutes of writing (10:00–11:30), followed by 30 minutes of chatting (11:30–12:00) about what we are writing and how it's going. You are welcome to stay longer if you want to continue writing afterward. Your Host will be JUDY, so say hi when you arrive.
Our venue is the macrobiotic restaurant Suribachi at Rua do Bonfim 134, 4300-096 Porto. We will be upstairs on the 1st floor (go through the shop to the restaurant beyond and the stairs are to your left). This is a short walk from the Campo 24 Agosto metro station. There is very little parking in the vicinity so better to use the metro.Please support the business in return for the use of their premises by buying refreshments or staying for lunch.
