Looking to connect with other writers of color in an intentional and consistent way that also supports your writing practice? Join us every month for our Writing in Color meetups! This program was created to connect writers of color in Colorado and beyond with fellow creatives so we can celebrate our work and encourage each other along the way. Writing does not have to be a solitary act. At Writing in Color, you'll be reminded of the importance of being in community with other writers who just get it.
Each month we'll come together as a community of BIPOC+ writers to discuss the craft of writing, respond to generative prompts, get inspiration from guest facilitators, and simply enjoy existing as creatives together.
April Meetup: Have you been wanting to join or start your own writing critique group but don't know where to begin? For this month's meetup, we'll come together and learn about the ins and outs of critique groups from Writing in Color and Lighthouse faculty member, Nyasha Williams. We'll also try out a basic critique model for ourselves! If you'd like to try out having your own work critiqued, bring a piece of your writing that is no longer than 1,000 words. Please plan to have a digital copy of your piece that can be shared with your fellow Writing in Color attendees. Please note: This Meetup has been moved from in-person to Zoom.
May Meetup: Join us as we celebrate Katerina Jeng, our 2023 Writing in Color Emerging Writers Fellow, and the release of their poetry book, Gospel of a Whole Sun! Katerina will walk us through some generative prompts inspired by their book and talk about their writing journey. Copies of Gospel of a Whole Sun will be available for purchase in person at this meetup.
Sign up for our Writing in Color monthly newsletter to receive updates on what we'll be focusing on during future meetups!
