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/

New venue alert: we’re coming to Balam Balam Place From early March, we’ll be hosting monthly Friday morning silent writing sessions at Brunswick’s beautiful new community space.

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.

Patter, @notypewriters.com’s literary journal, is on sale now at a couple of place around Melbourne: 1) Tempo Rubato in Brunswick 2) Benn’s Books in Bentleigh. Also you can grab a copy from our shop notypewriters.com/shop

Hoops by Stephanie Powell is fast, disjointed, and full of sensory impressions. Pick up a copy of Patter to read the full poem 👉 notypewriters.com/shop/

Jelena Potpara's poem 'What is a Bat?' is the first piece in Patter. Potpara's cute little poem was inspired by one of her nieces and exudes whimsy and playfulness off the page. It's the perfect way to dive into this eclectic collection of poetry, prose, and non-fiction.

Very excited about this. If you'd like to grab a copy of @notypewriters.com's journal come along to our next session or get in touch, details about both over on the website: notypewriters.com

Look what came early!

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

Patter launch party + session at Tempo Rubato: 19 November. Come grab a copy, a drink, and then write a thing

You know what looks good on paper? Words. And sometimes images. Which is why we’re printing our very own journal. Pledge to preorder now 👉 www.pozible.com/project/patt...

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.
