The lowdown
No Typewriters / No Talking invites you to the launch of Patter: Vol 2 + our December 2026 session hosted in conjunction with our dear friends Tempo Rubato. We'll kick things off with a little bit of talking at 6:15 PM and then move into silent writing at 6:30 PM. For people who preordered, you will be able to pick up your copy. For anyone who missed out, there will be a limited number available to purchase. --- Writers of any stage, genre, format, or style are invited to come work together for one hour in the solemn backdrop of Brunswick's best classical music venue. You can write with anything: biro on notepad, fingers on laptop — 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. There are three types of ticket Golden Ticket: gets you a seat Drunken Ticket: gets you a seat + a drink (any beer/wine/non-alc) Student/First Nations/Concession: gets you a seat (please only use if you actually fall into one of these categories) What to expect Doors open at 5:45 PM and the bar at Tempo will be slinging drinks. Speeches and a reading at 6:15 PM Once you move into the writing space there is no talking. Silent writing will start at 6:30 PM and the doors will be locked from 6:45 PM What to bring Something to write with/on. It could be a biro on notepad, fingers on laptop, — anything you want, just not a gosh darn typewriter. What not to bring Your typewriter Talking points, conversation topics, and/or a loquacious attitude What will be provided A table to rest your writing implements on A chair to rest yourself on Water and various receptacles to hold said water A prompt for you to write about (if you don't have anything you are currently working on) Once the hour of writing is over, you can stay for a drink at Tempo to, you know, chat.
