Upcoming Writing Workshop: Queerness & Creativity

The Mood Board is hosting a writing workshop for Pride Month. Sign up now! (Discount for paid subscribers)

Surprise! I’m hosting a writing workshop for Pride Month! One of my goals for the year has been to read and learn about other writers and creatives — their practices, their worldviews, their lives. And for Pride Month, I want to learn about queer writers and how their queer worldviews inspire their writing. Maybe you do too!

​In this four-week workshop, we will come together as queer writers to ask the questions: ​What can our queerness teach us about creativity and writing? How can we explore our creativity through a queer lens? What can we learn from queer writers and their perspectives that will inspire our own creative practices?

Each week, we will:

• ​Read and discuss the writing and work of a queer writer/creative (Potential writers include Frida Kahlo, Audre Lorde, Ocean Vuong, Torrey Peters, Casey McQuiston)

• ​Write around prompts inspired by them and their work

• ​Share our writing with the group (optional, but encouraged!)

• ​Be in community with other queer folks to discuss our own creative practices

Mondays: June 8, 15, 22, 29 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. CT
