Queer Creatives focuses on queer writers and makers in Colorado. We aim to connect queer creatives with peers because we know that LGTBQIA+ lives are enriched and affirmed through collective storymaking and storysharing. No matter how your creativity manifests, no matter how your queerness manifests, this is a space for you! At Lighthouse Writers Workshop, we aim to offer a more demographically complete representation of our writing community, offering a space that celebrates and welcomes the rich diversity of Colorado writers.

Monthly Meetups
Lighthouse hosts monthly meetups to provide a forum for queer writers to share the stories of their writing, including lessons learned, workshops, panel discussions, and their relationships with their writing and the writing world. Queer Creatives sessions currently take place on Zoom and focus on responding to a writing prompt and sharing out as desired.
Retreat
We are thrilled to announce that the Second Annual Queer Creatives Retreat will be held October 27-29, 2023! The 2023 Retreat program will be posted when confirmed. Sign-up for our mailing list and attend our monthly meetups to stay connected and learn more.
The Queer Creatives Retreat is open to writers of all genres and creatives of all types who identify as members of LGBTQIA+ communities. We also welcome folks who are questioning their gender or sexual orientation and those who are in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities. Our intention is to center LGBTQIA+ people at the retreat.
