Workshops
Mikayla has been curating and hosting writing workshops since 2024 and is expanding their offerings. Look through and see what events interest you.
Recurring Workshops
Writer's Gym
A gathering of storytellers, this Writer's Gym provides a casual space to explore the written word. Each meeting will feature a new variety of prompts to encourage experimentation. Be playful! Find what excites you about writing! All writers of any genre and experience level are welcome to join.
The Writer's Gym meets every 2nd Sunday of the month at the Vagina Museum.
East London Writer's Social
Need feedback on a project you're working on? Want to share new work with the world? Join us at In Vino Veritas for a unique take on the ordinary writer's night.
Bring a piece or excerpt you want edited. In small groups, we'll read and tweak each other's work in response to guided prompts.
At the end of the night, writers will have the chance to share the pieces they worked on for the group.
The East London Writer's Social meets once a month at In Vino Veritas Wine Bar and Bottle Shop.
Subversive Series
This upcoming workshop will feature writers subverting the norm in their genres – be that politically, contextually, or thematically. Prompts will be drawn from provided texts, and there will be ample time to explore what how these subversions can take root in your own work.
More details on the Subversive Series workshops will be released late summer.
