No Typewriters / No Talking

No Typewriters / No Talking has two rules, they’re in the name.

Writers of any stage, genre, format, or style are invited to come work together for one hour in a shared space once a month.

You can write with anything: biro on notepad, fingers on laptop, quill on vellum — just not a gosh darn typewriter.

During the hour of writing there is no talking. Coming together for one hour of shared sustained silence is a simple ritual that will help us concentrate on the thing we want to do (but find many reasons not to), write.

We are hosting sessions across Melbourne, check out our website to snaffle your spot at the next session nottypewriters.com or flick us an email at [email protected].

Patter is No Typewriters / No Talking’s very own literary journal. 

Starting in 2025, No Typewriters / No Talking is launching an eclectic journal, Patter. Submissions are open to people who have attended at least one session with No Typewriters / No Talking.
