Children’s Media Creators Coworking

# Children’s Media Creators Coworking
Are you creating a children’s book, show, game, video, curriculum, animation, podcast, product, or other form of media for children and youth?
Come work alongside other people building in the same world.
Children’s Media Creators Coworking is a casual, focused coworking and accountability community for writers, illustrators, animators, educators, filmmakers, game designers, musicians, curriculum developers, founders, and other people creating media and edutainment for children.
This gathering is primarily for adult creators making things for children. (It is not a children’s activity or class.)
# What happens?
We’ll begin with a brief check-in:
What are you creating?
What do you want to accomplish during this session?
Are you looking for feedback or collaboration—or uninterrupted focus?
Then, we work.
Bring your laptop, manuscript, notebook, sketchbook, storyboard, curriculum, headphones, or whatever else you need to move your project forward.
You are welcome to:
Work independently
Meet other children’s-media creators
Exchange ideas and useful resources
Ask for feedback
Find potential collaborators
Continue an existing project
Finally begin the idea you keep postponing
You do not need to have a finished product, established company, or formal creative title.
You only need something you care about creating for children—and a willingness to give it focused time.
Near the end, we’ll briefly regroup to share what we accomplished, identify our next steps, and ask for feedback, information, or collaborators when useful.
This is primarily coworking—not a workshop, presentation, or high-pressure networking event.
Come make progress while gradually getting to know the other people in Seattle who care about making better things for children.
