Gay Men’s Writing Brunch
Who We Are
Are you craving a deeper connection with other gay men beyond small talk, bars, and apps? Then join us at this gathering for a chance to slow down, reflect, and connect through writing.
Our Gay Men’s group is not necessarily about being a “good writer.” You don’t need experience or a creative background to belong here. Writing is simply the tool we’ll use to explore what’s real, meaningful, and alive in our lives.
Together, through playful prompts and guided reflection, we’ll explore themes that impact us as individuals and as a community:
-
LGBTQ+ history and identity
-
friendship and belonging
-
health, emotional well-being, and self-care
-
health, emotional well-being, and self-care
-
desire, sexuality, and self-trust
-
human rights, resilience, and what it means to live openly

The Setting and the Vibe
This is a gentle, grounding space for community and connection, with writing as the doorway. Think ocean air, cozy corners, warm coffee or tea, and a room full of kind gay men who are here for something real.
Wear comfortable clothes. Bring your journal and a pen (or whatever you like to write with). I’ll provide the prompts, the cozy atmosphere, and a homemade brunch to keep you nourished while we create together.
What you’ll leave with
a feeling of genuine community
new connections rooted in authenticity
a small collection of your own writing—something to keep, revisit, and reflect on
a deeper sense of what matters to you, and how you want to create friendships and community with other gay men
A bit about me
My very first workshop began with a group of five gay men (in 1992), and the experience was as profound then as it is now. I am continually amazed by the brave, funny, beautiful, sexy writing produced at our workshops, and for the way these fellow writers treat one another with such respect. It is an honor to witness a group of men listening to one another this way, and to have so many wonderful writers in one room.
Come as you are.
And let’s write our way into connection.
