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.
