End of Year Writing Marathon at The Village Works

End of Year Writing Marathon at The Village Works

The end of the year is approaching. Is the end of your writing project in sight? And is your digital self in optimal shape?

Whether you’re plugging away at the last chapter of your book, your job applications and graduate school essays, or a stack of holiday cards, you’ll have an easier time writing if you’re in good company.

And a dedicated time and place are essential to fighting off procrastination when it comes to cleaning up your cluttered desktop, overflowing inbox, email subscriptions, or past social media posts.

Join us for our end-of-the-year Writing Marathon and Digital Detox! We’ll have The Village Works coffee and productivity-optimized workspace to help us clear our devices and knock out our projects.

Tickets are free but limited!
