Want to write more this summer?

Not only write, but publish, share your work, start conversations? We do too! So we're running a blog club, starting now.

Join us to make publications, write and share weekly, and talk about our work together on Bluesky.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

Want to participate? ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ follow Summer of Pub for updates!

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

Make a new publication…or even make a few! Any topic, any format, all sorts of possibilities. Poetry? Photo blog? Yes and yes!

This is casual; anything goes, as long as you publish :) And we're open to suggestions if you think of things that'd make this a better experience for all.

Have a friend who might enjoy? Please invite them to join too!

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

The structure is intentionally loose, with a rolling start, so folks can join any time and we can make it better as we improve publications.

We just launched pub theming, to give each blog its own vibe, and we'll soon have a way to share quotes from each other's posts to Bluesky, so we can more easily talk about em!

We're excited to try quoting with blog club posts — and we'd love to have some great posts ready to share when we launch this.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

Also thinking about how we can make a simple collection of everyone's posts to better follow along…but for now:

Publication ready? ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ share on Bluesky & tag @schlage.town

(You can also reach out any time with questions!)
