Reconnect with your writing craft, receive honest peer feedback, and be in a supportive community of writers. Join us for the first Writers of Color Writing Club Meeting of the year on Friday, March 8th, from 6-8pm at the BCP Studio!

Here’s how it works:

  • Writers drop up to 5 pages of poetry or 10 pages of prose into a shared google drive folder by the first of the month.
  • From the 1st of the month until writing club (second Friday), writers will read all the content in the folder and consider writing down feedback to give to writers at the writing group.
  • During the first half of the writing club, we’ll engage in giving and receiving feedback. We’ll spend up to 10 min (total) giving the chosen writer feedback on their writing. Feedback can be verbal or written.
  • After 10 minutes, or when conversation about someone’s work reaches a natural end point, we’ll move on to the next writer. We’ll break into smaller groups if necessary, to save time and build intimacy with each other.
  • After a short break, we’ll spend the second half of writing club engaged in guided and free writing exercises. Those who wish to only engage in free writing can do so.
