How do you begin to run a marathon? You put one foot in front of another.
How do you start to create a story? You write one word after another.
Take your first steps as a writer in the LGBTQ+ Creative Writing classes organised by Homo Promos Theatre Company and Gay Authors Workshop, just off Oxford Street.
Young and would be writers have many questions: Am I good enough? Will I make myself understood? Do I have anything to say? Will people laugh at me? The answers are YES – YES – YES and NO!
There are many obstacles to starting as a writer. We aim to strip away the doubts. Come to Poland Street and you'll find: two friendly and experienced tutors; other dedicated and friendly LGBT+ writers wanting to improve and learn 'tricks of the trade'; a positive and caring environment which shouts out 'YES WE CAN'.
If you take part in our classes, we will ask you to write something every week and bring it along to share the week after. We like people to commit to the whole series, and we do not take new registrations after the second week [October 6th]. All you need is some writing materials, preferably on tablet or laptop which allows you to send your work to one of the tutors.
You may also get the opportunity to see your work in our quarterly e-magazine, Flash PP-ink, and in our new anthology HOT FLASHES.
And the classes are FREE!
