midnight & indigo celebrates Black women writers every day! Our Write-ins are a way to build community, write, and even share (only if you wish to) with other creatives.

The intention? Black women writers of all genres and experience levels are invited to join. Participants will be given writing prompts, write independently for a while and be invited to share. You'll have an opportunity to get to know each other and build community in our smaller "Writers Room" breakout groups, then we'll come back together for a word of inspiration.

Sessions are meant to be informal. So show up in your PJs if you want to or throw on your sweats. 

No critiques will be provided. We'd love to see you there!

This write-in is hosted by Ianna Small, the founder of m&i. Space is limited.
