Join Jess Wright on the last Tuesday of every month for a few hours of focused writing time. Each session will use a couple of queer texts as jumping off points for a series of writing exercises, with opportunities (but no requirement!) to polish and share short pieces. Aimed at both poets and prose writers who want to deepen their craft in dialogue with the queer literary tradition and in connection with others.
Summer dates:
🌞 Tuesday 25th June
🌞 Tuesday 30th July
🌞 Tuesday 27th August
