Welcome!
Come along to Write Night, a drop in writing workshop for poets. Each month Write Night explores a theme or style of poetry with a few exercises and prompts, suitable for poets of all experiences. Whether you have been writing for years or stopped putting words down when you left school, this night is a place to come and experiment , find community and build together. This night is designed to be a supportive, welcoming environment. Your workshop leader will take you through all steps of the plan.
Write Night runs 19:00 - 20:30 on the 4th Tuesday of the Month.
Open to writers 18+.
This months theme is: Narrative
This month Write Night is looking at how we tell stories through our poetry. Exploring characters journeys, seeing change occur in context, and connecting events together are all routes in to telling story. They naturally bring up the kind of things we use to write poetry, but exploring story through the stripped back methods of poetry make us balance efficiency and information to make sure we include everything that's needed and leave out anything extraneous.

Ethos
Write Night is a place to explore poetry in a positive, experimental approach.As a group, we do not provide critical feedback without the writers consent.Write Night is a night to develop new work, and whilst we cannot promise to be a safe space, we work to be a brave one. When we write, things we might not expect to come up may arise, there is value in engaging with those things and we Write Night works to provide a space where that can be responsibly explored. Each participant is responsible for their own work and any impact that causes. With that understanding, Write Night does not tolerate disrespect of marginalised traits, including racism, sexism, queer-phobic behaviour, ableism or bullying in general. Anyone the host believes to be intentionally engaging with this behaviour will be removed from the group without a refund and not be welcomed back.
Any issues can be directed to the workshop leader during the session or afterwards by contacting the organiser.
