The Bookish Type Writes
Do you write? Do you want to get into (or back into) writing? Do you want to surround yourself with queer books and queer writers and queer thoughts and also queer biscuits*?
Join us for an evening of focused writing, experimentation, and play. Aimed at folks who want space to try new things, sow the seeds of some new writing, and develop their creative practice by connecting with queer literary traditions and one another.
All profits will be donated to The Sameer Project, a Palestinian-led mutual aid group supporting people in Gaza.
*ok, maybe the biscuits are just regular.
