Welcome
About
​
Our circles are open to writers of poetry, prose and creative non-fiction.
Short readings will be provided. Readings are best completed before the session.
During each session, we complete 2-3 writing exercises as well as take part in facilitated discussions. The session will be facilitated in line with safe space principles.
The goal is to help you enjoy the processes of reading and creating literature, and to help you feel inspired and encouraged as you move forward in your writing. Anyone can join regardless of experience level.
