Community and volunteering
I am and have been involved in the following communities and volunteering efforts.
Shut up and write© Berlin
Lead organiser, 2020 to present
Shut up and write© is a global community dedicated to letting people find the time to write.
There are dozens of global chapters and I run the Berlin chapter with several co-organisers.
The Berlin chapter has the largest membership base and meets the most regularly out of all the global chapters.
