Speak the Word: online poetry editing workshop
Location
Online event
An online poetry editing workshop for peer encouragement, feedback and critique
About this event
ON THE 2ND SATURDAY OF THE MONTH, SPEAK THE WORD RUNS A POETRY EDITING WORKSHOP
What this means is that we bring a poem and our request (encouragement, validation, critique – for example) to the group and we support each other in improving our craft.
We’re building a close, welcoming and supportive community with each other – wherever we’re at with our poetry – to learn together about editing and how to give feedback.
You don’t need to be an expert. Nobody needs to feel ill-prepared, we figure out out together!
Please bring along one piece of writing that you are working on (poetry/prose). Please also have it typed up, because we will ask you to share your screen.
We will have approximately 15 minutes to discuss each person's work.
Event time: 6–7.30pm (GMT/UTC)
Duration: 90 minutes
Accessibility: Captioning available, let us know if you have any other accessibility needs.
Queer & trans-affirming.
