What is an eXperience?

A creative's ultimate getaway!

What level of experience is required to attend?

No experience necessary. Whether you have been in the industry for years or are just starting your musical journey, there is a space for you. Not only to learn and grow, but to contribute to others' journeys as well.

Are meals provided?

No meals will be provided during our time together.
It is suggested to plan to use UberEats, DoorDash, or other delivery services for your meals as you will have small windows of time to eat.

If you're staying in the WRX house, you're welcome to bring food to make your meals. Just be aware that free time will be scarce. Snacks will be provided on Friday & Saturday for writing sessions.

In what genres do you write at an eXperience?

We write in MULTIPLE genres (Pop, R&B, Gospel, CCM, Country, Christmas, and more). You will speak with your group and come to a decision together as to what everyone is comfortable writing. Challenges for your group are also provided... should you choose to accept.

I've heard there are teams and challenges.
Do I have to participate?

Who is this event for?

Any and every type of musical creative on any level. Songwriters, producers, musicians, singers, etc.

Is housing included with registration?

No. Limited housing is available in the WRX House. Pricing varies based on bed/room size. Pricing covers your stay from check-in to check-out based on the schedule. Individual nights cannot be purchased. No shared beds except for married couples. Everyone staying on site must be a registered attendee. No children may stay overnight in the WRX house.

What is a "SongShare Concert"?

Songshare concerts are nightly performances of the songs written during the sessions that day. They are for you to receive real-time feedback as well as to pitch to the Writing Rounds Music label. ALL guests will be respectful of other writers/performances. LeBron Arnwine and Jessica Hitte will be listening attentively to lyric, melody, uniqueness, style, and performance. Sell your song!

What's the difference between a SongShare Concert and the Community Showcase?

The SongShare concerts are songs freshly written that weekend during our time together. The Community Showcase takes place the first night to allow for a limited number of attendees to share original music as a way to introduce themselves. It's a glorified open mic! Ha! 

You must sign up for this once it is opened, and the spaces are limited. So, make sure you sign up quickly. It is truly a safe space. You will be supported and cheered on the whole time. And it is the best way to see the talent coming through that you'll be working with.

FAQ

Venue

Labeled as the "WRX House", our community has adopted the Reunion Stay as our main hub for the Writing Rounds eXperiences. With a great amount of space, the beauty of Franklin at our fingertips, and the hospitality of the owners, it was an easy decision to select this as our venue yet again.

You should be here!
But, don't just take it from us...

WRX changed my perspective on how I see myself as a singer and a song writer. With every experience, I’ve gained positive perspectives and constructive criticisms about my gift. Can you say GROWTH?! I’m so glad I’m apart of this community! WRITING ROUNDS ALL DAY BABY!

Kayla Vinson (Georgia)

WRX is like a homecoming event and family reunion! It’s full of community, great vibes, and great music! Each experience that I’ve been to just gets better and better! The creativity in lyrics and melodies blow my mind at every Songshare. There’s really nothing like WRX.

Tierra Willis (Michigan)

The best way I can describe an eXperience is truly leveling up. The way you write, network, collaborate, and grow is truly different with this community. Almost like you just found the bridge/open door to walking into the music industry. Truly life changing.

Cameron Boggs (West Virginia)

WRX is just IT. The community, the songs ... everything about Writing Rounds has me coming back for more after every experience. The first time I walked in the door at a WRX all my nerves went away after being embraced with so much love. It truly felt like being welcomed by family. Being able to share your heart and ideas in sessions without any judgement is so comforting. And then watching those ideas/stories/conversations come to life at the songshares is one of the best feelings in the world!! Two words: GET HERE! (Iykyk🤪)

Jada Lee (California)

I was so nervous to come to WRX as a first timer, but as soon as I stepped in the door, everyone was so warm and kind, and the atmosphere was so fun and inviting! You’d fit right in too! Everyone truly is there to cheer each other on, and grow their talents and stretch themselves and I already can’t wait to come to the next one!

Catie Packard (West Virginia)

Have you ever "not been hungry" until you eat... and then you realize that you actually were hungry and you ate all of your food? That is the sum of what the Writing Rounds family is! The community of creatives from all walks of life, stories, and backgrounds that you never knew that you needed. You will not meet a more encouraging, uplifting, and kind community than the ones you will meet at a Writing Rounds Experience! You may walk in a stranger, but you will absolutely leave as family! Just come and see for yourself!

LeBron Arnwine (Georgia)

So boom, you’re a songwriter and no one is taking you seriously and all your opportunities seem to have dried up. You start to wonder if you should be doing this at all, then you discover Writing Rounds, an online community of creatives designed to encourage and cultivate the best in everyone involved. You’re skeptical because it seems too good to be true but because you believe in yourself and your passions, you give us a try. You signup for an in person experience and mark your calendar. As the day gets closer you begin to meet fellow participants in the group chat sharing laughs, debating the appropriate topping for grits (it’s sugar btw), connecting about loathing traffic, cold food and repeating yourself to people named Earl? (No offense if your name’s Earl) You quickly learn that this seemingly too good to be true gang of strangers is indeed your tribe and you haven’t even touched down yet. As you’ve packed bags and traveled to Franklin, you walk in to a house full of people eager to meet you and cheer you on in your creative journey. You’ve made it to your first Writing Rounds eXperience. Welcome Home.

Scott Keller (California)

Not knowing anybody who was attending, I prepared myself to be nervous and alone most of the time to be honest. However, within MINUTES of walking into the house I was greeted by two people who introduced me to everybody in the room…it was so easy. From there I was subconsciously handed off to another person and when I looked lost another was quick to notice and explain what to do. Conversations were had, plans were set, numbers were exchanged, and I was Intentionally included. This was more than just a possible song writing opportunity… this was an opportunity to meet MY people, to meet face to face and formally put down roots with “like minded”creatives to grow in our gifting’s together. Plus listen to crazy good music all weekend. I’m grateful - this community is authentic and so talented!

Krista Dantin (Georgia)

I came to my first WRX event not knowing what to expect and doubting if I had the skillset to contribute something of value. But as soon as I walked in I was greeted with warmth, love and acceptance. I appreciated how encouraging everyone was and how easy it was to express my thoughts and ideas. I’ve grown as a writer during my time with writing rounds and would recommend anyone interested in growing as a writer and being apart of a community that will support you as you embark on your songwriting journey to look no further than writing rounds.

Randy Johnson (North Carolina)

Thank you to Jessica and LeBron for creating this amazing community of creatives. I can’t believe that I get to be in the same room with the most talented and anointed artists, singers, songwriters and musicians on the planet. You encourage and accept me as your equal. I have truly found my people.
This amazing community has welcomed and loved me like no other. When I am with Writing Rounds community, I truly feel home.

Teresa Perea (California)

From the moment I checked in the house, everyone was so welcoming and even though I was meeting some for the first time, it was like I already knew them. For the first time ever, I felt like I truly belonged and did not want the eXperience to end! I was educated, I was challenged, I was stretched, and I was able to conquer some fears. Seriously, this is the best decision any creative could make! Join in on the fun, even if you’re afraid - you will not regret it!

Ciquia Martin (California)

The home I never thought I would find.. The tribe I never knew I would need.. Joining the Writing Rounds Community is truly an experience that words just do not do justice. You just have to experience it for yourself. We make hits, moves, and memories! If you are looking for a safe place to be creative, network, build relationships that will push and challenge you to be better, help you take the next steps in your career/passion.. All while laughing and cutting up the whole time… Welcome home!

Natasha Brown (Georgia)

Writing Rounds is a place where you can create with people from all over. During an in person experience, I wrote 4 songs that were outside of my typical genre. I was stretched in a way that grew me. If you want a challenge and to create dope music with friends turned family, this is where you want to be. Songshare is my fav! You get to hear future hits before anyone else!
