THE WRITER'S ROOM, Story Crush: Share the Book You Love

One night, one book: pitch your favorite read in a 90s speed dating style. 30 spots only. Fast-paced, platonic, and full of stories.

Story Crush: Share the Book You LoveIt’s speed dating… but for your favorite story.

To celebrate one year of The Writer’s Room, we’re hosting a 90s-style speed dating night — without the romance, just passionate book pitches. This evening is about the books, not dating, and our goal is to create a safe, welcoming space for book lovers to connect.

Bring the book that stole your heart and persuade someone else to fall for it too. Every few minutes, you’ll meet a new partner, pitch your chosen book, and hear about theirs. Along the way, you’ll collect a fresh reading list and a map of Rotterdam’s best local bookstores.

How it works:

• Choose ONE book you truly love.
• Use our pitch guide to prepare your answers.
• Pitch in 3 minutes or less.
• Fall in love with other people’s picks.

It’s fast-paced. It’s passionate. It’s completely platonic. Come for the stories. Leave with your next obsession.
