Our Bar Writer Guidelines and the Buddy System

 

• All potential writers are encouraged to attend our monthly Writer Happy Hours! This is a place to brainstorm and discuss scene ideas, participate in writing exercises, and read any scenes (or parts of scenes) you'd like to hear out loud! The next Happy Hour Dates can be found here!

​​

• Interested in submitting a scene? We encourage you to check out these guidelines, lovingly assembled by some of our most experienced writers: OUR BAR Writer Guidelines.

​​

• Have a great idea but aren't sure how to write it? Need someone to bounce ideas off of to make your scene even more awesome? Email the Writers' Jury Foreperson at ourbarjury@gmail.com to take advantage of the Our Bar Buddy System. You will be paired up with a fellow writer who can provide you with helpful feedback at any stage in the process: prior to scene submission, post-Jury feedback, or post-readthrough.
