Who we are at Listening in the Dark.
Listening in the Dark is a place to un-numb ourselves.
A place to gather together because we miss unfiltered community, authenticity, and a sense of belonging to something that matters.
We’re here because angry doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Because social media doesn’t cut it.
Because the world often feels broken, and we want more creative tools of joy in the process of fixing it.
What we do.
We are a newsletter that delivers strong creative outlets and cultural catharsis through essays, writing workshops across genres from poetry to screenplay writing, behind the scenes from book tours and entertainment industry events, Zoom gatherings and more.
If you are looking for creative community, we are one-stop shopping.
