What we’re about
Welcome to Uppsala Readers & Writers! This group is dedicated to connecting all lovers of the written word in Uppsala.
And in a much more honest way, this is mostly a group for me to meet fellow readers and writers in Uppsala since I'm new to the city.
Join in for short story discussions, co-reading/writing sessions, and more - usually over fika :)
We'll aim to meet somewhere easily accessible, likely a cafe, but when the weather is nice we could also organize book and story discussions out in Stadsskogen or other nature. Suggestions for session themes, books, and locations are very welcome.

In this short story discussion, we will explore three stories about being human.
📚 The stories
- The Egg by Andy Weir (997 words)
- The Star Thrower by Loren Eiseley (1300 words)
- They're Made out of Meat by Terry Bisson (778 words)
❓How it works
Before the session, we each read the stories linked above. When we meet on the day, we'll summarize and discuss each story. We can discuss any and all aspects of the stories - what we liked or didn't like, the prose, the central themes, and anything else that comes to mind.
The event is earmarked for 1.5 hours, but you're welcome to stay as long as you'd like, and of course hang around to chat afterwards if you want. But please be sure to update your RSVP if you're unable to attend.
📍 Location
This time we'll meet at bakery Leijon in Rosendal, just 2km from the city center. The event is free, but you're encouraged to buy something from the cafe :)
