Ally Hours are open for booking.
Writing support for wherever you are

Ally Hours

Bring any piece of writing. Work on it alongside peers. Get feedback from Nandita.

Alternate Sundays Maximum 5 people 18+ Virtual

Sometimes you don't need a whole program. You just need a little momentum.

Ally Hours are for writers who have something they're working on and want a little time, attention, community, or feedback to help them keep going.

Bring whatever you're working on. It can be a new idea, a messy draft, a piece you've been avoiding, or something you're almost ready to share.

How it works

Two hours. Two parts.

Part one

Write

Spend focused writing time alongside a small group of other writers. Bring your own project and use the time however it serves you best.

Part two

Get feedback

Share a piece of your work and receive thoughtful feedback from Nandita and the group.

Why Ally Hours

Enough community. Enough attention.

You don't have to commit to a twelve-week program to benefit from having someone beside you while you write.

Ally Hours or The Incubator?
Ally Hours are a good fit when you want focused group writing time and occasional feedback. If you need sustained, individualized support around a larger project, The Incubator may be a better fit.

What might you bring?

Priya

She arrives with a half-finished story and uses the writing time to get unstuck. A quick conversation helps her see what the piece needs next.

David

He brings a draft he's been circling for weeks. Feedback from the group gives him a clearer direction — and a reason to keep going.
