We are delighted to announce details of the next two events in our Second Tuesday Series, a series of online events taking place on the second Tuesday of every month.
The series is intended to offer writers a space to gather, share their experiences, and learn from one another. All events will be run online via Zoom from 7pm.
The series features writers in conversation, discussion with participants, as well as craft seminars.
Dates for upcoming events are as follows:
Tuesday April 14th 7pm – Writing Spaces with Danny Denton, Mia Gallagher and Sheila Armstrong
Free event | Capacity 300
Following Joshua Rothman’s recent New Yorker article, ‘Do You Need A Writer’s Room?’, April’s Second Tuesday Series event will feature Mia Gallagher in conversation with fellow writers Sheila Armstrong and Danny Denton on the topic of Writing Spaces.
The discussion will explore the concept of the ‘writer’s room’ and the perceived importance of having access to a dedicated writing space. While taking physical space as a starting point, we will also look at other types of spaces: mental, physiological, somatic, emotional, creative. We will discuss attempts and failures to make, safeguard and expand space. How context impinges on space, reducing or expanding it. The impact on our writing of losing space or moving into new space. Whether there is one ‘ideal’ space for each of us, or whether this shifts at different times and places and for different projects. We hope our conversation will shake up our own, and your, inner writing room – creating paths through it for the work to grow.
We would be delighted to have you join us for this event. You can register to attend here.
