About This Event

A low-key writing workshop where LGBTQ+ folks gather to uncover and share their stories. Each session uses prompts to spark writing, with 10-minute breaks and time to read your work aloud to the group. All writing levels welcome — the focus is on the journey, not perfection, and you'll get genuine feedback from people who get it. No registration needed; just show up.
