Creative Writing Workshop

Free

As part of Andro & Eve's new zine project, Joyful Noise, this online Creative Writing Workshop will be led by poet and writer Ella Otomewo.

In this informal session Ella Otomewo will be sharing different writing exercises to help you find your voice and tell your story. Exploring both poetry and prose, the workshop is about cultivating joy and getting creative through words, alongside fellow LGBTQ+ folk.

It’s a great way to develop something to submit to the Joyful Noise zine, but there is no pressure to do so!

Please note this session will be captioned.

As part of this project there is also a dedicated session for older LGBTQ+ folk. If you are aged 50+ and LGBTQ+ you may wish to attend a session at Theatre Deli on the 8th September instead – find out more.

Find out more about Andro and Eve's zine project.

Get to know them better in our Meet the Locals interview with Finn from Andro and Eve.
