How can I connect more with Berlin's writing community on here?

Look who I bumped into on campus yesterday?! 🥰 Think the last time we saw each other in person was at the Crossroads Festival before the pandemic(!) - thanks again for squeezing me in in between your meetings/travels @divyaghelani.bsky.social! And hopefully it won't be as long till next time! 🙏🏽

Thrilled to be joining @wasafirimag.bsky.social, a publication I’ve loved and respected for many years. ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Writers/Editors. Kindle Scribe or Refurbished Remarkable? If so, why, please? I need the correct device for my PhD and editing work. Thank you.

Feeling more than a little bit emotional and proud of my former @uealdc Creative Writing MA classmate, Michael Amherst. His writing was always beautiful, and I’m so glad and excited to learn that his book will be put next year. ❤️ www.faber.co.uk/journal/fabe...

I don't recommend watching 12th Fail on NetflixIndia in increments during your lunch break. I must have cried about 20 times! Wrecked me. (Great stuff though.) 😂

Ustad Zakir Hussain RIP. Here’s his famous Horse Running sound, which I played to my utterly entranced toddler last year. The finest tabla player. A great loss. How lucky we are to still have his music. youtu.be/NNQ6IwI1yLI?si… via @YouTube

Deconstructed Xmas tree for book lovers. Lights on the inside. 😝

Hello lovely new community! It’s nice here! I’m piping up to say I’m running a Winter Solstice Creative Writing Workshop Sat Dec 21st in-person and online with gorgeous @thereaderberlin.bsky.social. Bookings open, details here: www.thereaderberlin.com/weekend-work... WriterThreads WritingCommunity

“Positive social change results mostly from connecting more deeply to the people around you than rising above them, from coordinated rather than solo action… Our largest problems won’t be solved by heroes. They’ll be solved, if they are, by movements, coalitions, civil society.”

When I’m reading fiction my mobile phone really is an evil presence in the room.

Celebrate the longest night of the year through creativity! 📚🌌 In-Person & Online available ❄️ thereaderberlin.com/weekend-worksh…

The writing community on Bluesky is so amazing already but my feed is very full of established authors! I want to make a Starterpack for emerging writers in hopes to see more diverse content! If you’re in the middle of a WIP, unpublished, or even just writing as a hobby, drop a comment! (1/2)

Which starter packs do I need to know about, peeps? Writing, reading, food, culture are my favs.

It’s nice to start again someplace new. Feels creative and interesting after so long.

I’m new to this app, so I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m a British fiction writer with a first novel out on submission(!). I’m doing a literature and creative writing PhD at the University of East Anglia with a 2024 CHASE scholarship. I’m here for writing and reading communities. Tips welcome!
