Disabled Writers’ Drop-In

This monthly virtual meet up is a chance for a cross-disability group of writers to connect and write in community. Beginners and experienced writer’s are welcome! This is a chance to spend an hour together to make some room for our writing.

Whether you use voice to text, a pen and paper, a brailler, typing or bringing someone with you to transcribe when writing, all methods of playing with words are welcome!

 Each Drop-In Includes:

 -Opening go around sharing the successes and challenges of our writing this month

 -20-25 minutes of writing time together. A prompt will be given but you are welcome to bring anything you like to work on.

 -After writing we share lines or words to create a collective poem.

-Resource Wrap Up where we can share any opportunities, workshops, publication calls, events, etc. that might be of interest to the group.

-We end by reading a poem by a disabled writer.
