Author Speed Dating Session
About this Event
Author Speed Dating is a fast-paced, interactive networking session designed to connect writers for collaboration, support, and creative inspiration. The session begins with a short introduction by JF Garrard, offering practical tips on networking efficiently, breaking the ice, and making meaningful first impressions. A handout will be distributed with instructions for making a mini-pitch, as well as conversation prompts to avoid awkwardness! Participants then take part in structured, timed one-on-one conversations, rotating through multiple matches to exchange ideas, share projects, and build lasting connections within the writing community.
This in-person workshop is free to attend. However, if you have the means, we invite you to consider a donation to The Word On The Street as a way of helping to keep these arts events accessible for everyone into the future.
Location
The WOTS workshops are located in room 310 of Metro Hall, accessible through the festival site at David Pecaut Square. Take the elevator to the third floor and follow the signage.
Advance registration is required.
Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the workshop begins, and bring something to write with!
