An invite-only salon for writers, poets & artists
Brains first.
Bodies very much included.
Ampersand is for people who annotate their books and their exes with equal care. Deep conversation, emotionally literate friends-with-benefits, and the occasional thing that turns into more — among a curated circle of critical, creative, justice-minded humans.
No one walks in. Someone has to vouch for you.
-
01
Every member gets three invites.
Spend them like you’d spend your reputation — because you are.
-
02
Up to five photos, each with a prompt.
The one you’d post. You doing the thing. You making something. Two wild cards if you like. Irony encouraged; authenticity required.
-
03
Swipe on minds, not just faces.
What they’re working on, what they’d march for, how they handle a hard conversation.
-
04
Adults only, in every sense.
Say what you want. Mean what you say. Leave people better than you found them.
