COY wants to take writing off the internet and into the real world. We aim to bring amateur and up-and-coming writers together, giving them a chance to feel embedded in the literary space. We want to take away some of the pretension of the lit scene to create a friendly, fun event, where work can be shared and connections made without pressure. Bring a friend, or come alone and make some new ones :)

You can subscribe to our newsletter, with roundups from our readings, details of the next event, and inspiration for the month ahead, here, or follow us on Instagram here.

COY is created by Eve, writer of the publication angelic dissent. You can contact her at evemorganwriting@proton.me or via Instagram.
