We took over MPavilion on Tuesday night. Writers were writing in the golden light of a magnificent Melbourne evening in the cozy confines of Tadao Ando's concrete canopy.

Come write a thing with us at MPavilion tomorrow mpavilion.org/events/no-typewriters/

We love the energy folks bring to the room when they come to write a thing. So come write a thing at one of our two sessions in Feb: - MPavilion next week 👉 mpavilion.org/events/no-ty... - Tempo Rubato the week after 👉 events.humanitix.com/no-typewrite...

Come write a thing at our January session at Tempo Rubato 👉 events.humanitix.com/no-typewrite...

Congrats on a stellar year! What you do is very appreciated. Have a restful break and see you in January.

2025 has been another big year! So many sessions. So much writing. So few typewriters.

We changed email provider to @buttondown.com and it was seamless and easy and spoke to actual humans.

We’re not happy about this. But given big tech’s insistence of ramming AI — something we hate more than typewriters — into everything, we’ll allow it.
