Writing Rhythms featuring Soman Chainani @ Hotel Alameda
About This Event
You’re invited to Writing Rhythms featuring guest speaker author Soman Chainani!
A gathering for people who don’t just love stories, but create them.
Join us for our Writing Rhythms event, a new concept designed to bring writers together for an evening of creativity, connection, and focused writing time. Whether you’re working on a novel, journaling, screenwriting, poetry, essays, or simply trying to build a writing habit, this space is for you.
We're thrilled to welcome bestselling author Soman Chainani as our guest speaker. Soman Chainani is the author of The School for Good and Evil series, which has sold over 4.5 million copies, has been translated into 35 languages across six continents, and has been adapted into a major motion picture from Netflix that debuted at #1 in over 80 countries. His latest novel, YOUNG WORLD, was an instant New York Times bestseller, USA Today Bestseller and Indie List Bestseller. Together, his books have been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 50 weeks. He lives in St. Louis, Missouri.
He'll be joining us to share insight into the creative process behind his newest New York Times bestseller YOUNG WORLD, about a teenager who is elected President of the United States. Dive into the behind-the-scenes of how Soman put together a YA political thriller containing over 150+ pieces of neon colored art.
Bring your current project, settle in, and spend the evening writing alongside other creatives. Expect a relaxed atmosphere, meaningful conversations, fresh inspiration, and the chance to leave with real progress on your work.
Logistical note: Please bring your own work to write. Optional journals & pens provided.
In a world that can often feel devoid of interest and meaningful connection, we bring readers together to reconnect with our love of learning, to experience the wonder of beautiful venues and curated music, and to gather amongst all of the people who want to be in that very same room.
Our favorite conversations happen in the Reading Rhythms mobile app. Join us there → https://readingrhythms.app

What Readers Say
"I leave every single Reading Rhythms party feeling like skipping all the way home even if the work day preceding it makes me tired or kind of cranky. I love seeing the stars in all your eyes as you depart as well, gives me goosebumps!"
— Regular Attendee
"I'm 88 years old and moved to Hudson Yards to be closer to my grandkids. I think this is a wonderful idea."
— Judith
"We're embedded with everyday superficial conversations, the kind of small talk that is essentially bland, useless and tasteless. RR gives people the chance to connect similar people together in the same room."
— Community Member
"That first event I attended was really cool for me because I'd been wanting to just read more often and making a plan to just go somewhere and read really kept me accountable to that."
— NYC Newcomer
"I'm so glad I found Reading Rhythms! I had no idea how much I needed and wanted to connect with other readers. Last night was another exceptional experience, full of connection, laughter, and community."
— Stacee
"Event space was great. Host brought great energy. Really enjoyed the quiet time reading and the conversation in the middle. Did get slightly distracted by the music (but only because it was good and I was Shazam'ing it)."
— Bradley Layton
"It reminded me why I attend Reading Rhythms in the first place. Not only do they care about the readers, but they also champion the small businesses that helped shape this community in the first place."
— Andres
"I really enjoyed the choice to read by the sea, the atmosphere, and the connection that was created with the other readers."
— Bernardina (Amalfi Coast)
