Our ongoing monthly virtual meet up is a chance for a cross-disability group of writers to connect and write in community. Each month we choose a theme and provide prompts to spark the creativity of emerging and experienced writers.
The sessions are structured with an opening go around sharing the successes and challenges of our writing this month, time to write together, a “Resource Wrap Up” and we end by reading a poem by a disabled writer.
We also create a collective poem in each session based on the monthly theme which you will find below! We create these poems by brainstorming the monthly topic together and then after writing time participants can share a word, phrase or sentence that came out of their individual writing to add to the poem. Facilitator Rebecca Wood then assembles all of the pieces into a collective poem.
Join our Disabled Writers Facebook group for reminders about the monthly program and to see the resources shared in our “Resource Wrap Up” including opportunities, workshops, publication calls, events, programs that might be of interest to the group.
