Torches: an Emerging Writer's Circle
About this Event
Torches is a monthly, recurring space for pre-first book and community loving writers to:
- Create new material or work on existing projects in a communal setting. (You don’t have to spend all of your writing time alone!)
- Sharpen their literary techniques, each session receiving free and original craft-focused writing activities from emerging literary star Taiwana Shambley and;
- Share new work and receive peer feedback (if you want it!)
We meet the last Thursday of every month. Let’s create new work and hone our craft, together. And of course, emerging writer or not, we won’t turn any interested attendees away.
