This collaborative writing workshop invites members of the queer community to come together to share writing and build an affinity space. We'll meet weekly to share writing that draws (directly or indirectly) from the queer experience, raise questions about our work, offer feedback, and discuss writing we admire. Creative nonfiction and fiction are both welcome.

When: Wednesdays, 6-7:30pm, October 22-December 3 (6 weeks, skipping Nov 26)

Cost: $200 for six-week session; sliding scale down to $50. Please reach out to the workshop facilitator (elizabeth.weinberg@gmail.com) if $50 poses a barrier to your participation.
