Queer Playwrights Circle

Community Focused

A gathering for queer folks who feel the pull of lunar energy and want to connect with others who do too. Whether you're into astrology, witchcraft, meditation, or just vibing with the moon's cycles, this is your people. Expect conversation, maybe some ritual, and definitely a room full of folks who get it.

Free

Halloween at Hive Mind Books in Bushwick is a treat for the younger crowd: free books for kids, handed out from 2 to 5 PM while the coffee's still on. It's a sweet way to spend Saturday afternoon, and the only thing you'll need to bring is a little candy-hunting enthusiasm.

Community Focused

Queer Writing Night at Hive Mind Books in Bushwick is a quiet, cozy evening set aside for your own writing, surrounded by a queer community that's there to write too. There are no critiques, no readings, and no performance pressure, just a chill bookstore, good coffee, and time to get your pages done. Grab a drink from the café and settle in for the night.

Bookstore

Silent Reading Night at Hive Mind Books in Bushwick is an hour of quiet reading in a cozy queer-owned bookstore, followed by half an hour to chat. Grab a book from the shelves or bring your own and settle in. You get $1 off drinks and 10% off books, so you'll walk out with a new read and a coffee in hand.

Coffee Shop

Thursday mornings at Hive Mind belong to queer and trans writers who want to show up and actually get work done—surrounded by people who get it. Bring your laptop, your draft, your manuscript, your questions, or just the need for a quiet table and good coffee in a space that's genuinely welcoming. No pressure, no performance, just writers doing the work together.

Intimate Setting

New Moon Circle at Hive Mind Books in Bushwick is a magical gathering for moon-loving queer folks, held in the bookstore's café among the borough's largest queer and trans literature shelves. Bring your curiosity, your favorite crystal, or just yourself and settle into a cozy circle as the new moon rises. It's a calm, intimate way to kick off a Friday evening in Brooklyn.
