They // Us Writing Group

Online

15 Nov 2020

Online

They//us is a new monthly online writing and feedback group for non-binary and gender non-conforming writers who would like to share their work and network with others who identify in the same/similar ways.

There is no pressure to produce work on gender identity, we are under no obligation to define ourselves in the space.

The group will be a maximum of ten people to ensure that everyone’s work is tended to and feedback in monthly meetings is achievable.

The group is open to fiction writers and poets, and will be facilitated by Bridget Hart, who will bring their expertise of editing and feedback to the table and encourage critical feedback from everyone in the group.

The group is open to all levels of writing, whether you are published or not.

During the 2-hour monthly sessions we will catch up, share our work and written feedback will be extended to shared Google Drive files for in-between sessions.

The group is free to attend and participate in, but you’ll need to go through the checkout process and ‘buy’ your free ticket to book your place.
