Come and make your voices heard. A workshop to show you how to put your hopes, worries, and dreams into words, and to celebrate your own queer stories in any way you choose.
Nik will show you how to shape your brilliant ideas, and channel your own unique perspectives on the world, into exciting and arresting pieces of writing. Poets, prose writers, and those brand new to writing are all welcome. There’ll also be an opportunity for your work to be entered into the Writing Competition.
