A monthly queer writing workshop in the bookshop, led by writer Michael Lee Richardson.
Each month has a theme. We read stories and poems aloud and using them, create our own writing in a gentle, guided session.
Absolutely no experience required! Just a willingness to have a go in a safe and affirmative setting.
This event is delivered in partnership with Open Book Reading.
🌟Practical Information! 🌟
This workshop is free! You can attend without signing up.
📚 A note on the bookshop space and expectations. The bookshop space is small, so events like this tend to be magical, intimate, low key and occassionally chaotic. Seating is a mix of some chairs with backs, as well as benches, stools and floor cusions. Lighting is soft and low. The big doors can open for ventilation - and we always do a check before we start to make sure everyone is comfortable, and to make sure everyone who needs a seat has one. Get in touch if you need a space reserved.
Please note: There is (still) no bathroom at the bookshop. The closest accessible toilets are Glad Cafe, Bungo and Tramway.
The bookshop has level access from the street. Let us know if you need more venue information or have specific questions on access / disability / neurodiversity needs.
