Third Space | Prompt Workshop with Zainab Imran

We are delighted to offer two writing prompt workshops – if you want to answer the open call but want a bit of help getting words on a page, this is for you!

These two prompt workshops, run by Zainab Imran and Rhiya Pau, provide a space for you to think about the prompt, and to connect with other poets.

These workshops are free and open to all, but spaces are very limited, so book now (and please only sign up to one session – they are not a series).
