About this Event

In this generative workshop, writers will utilize poetry, photos and novel excerpts as inspiration to write a handful of short scenes that they can take home with them and expand, to develop them into bigger fiction projects. This is a low stakes, communal environment where writers are encouraged to share their work with the group and receive positive and encouraging feedback. No experience is required. This is a pay what you can event, with a suggested donation of $10.

This workshop is developed and run by Alya Somar. Alya Somar is a Guyanese-Canadian writer from Mississauga, Ontario. She holds an Honours Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing and Publishing from Sheridan College, and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph. As a creative writing workshop facilitator and writer published in The Ampersand Review, Two Times Removed: An Anthology of Indo-Caribbean Fiction and more, she’s looking forward to whatever's next.
