Something for the Weekend

Thanks to all who joined us online this week.

We'll be back on Tuesday, April 21 6 - 7.30pm

look out for the Google Hangouts calendar invite.

INSPIRATION

The Literary Consultancy have contacted their friends and allies to put together this resource for writers across all genres

POETRY

The brilliant writer and Hackney resident Joe Dunthorne hosts a fiendish poetry challenge Stress Test on Soho Radio. Poets (and listeners) are invited to write new work under timed conditions, read it aloud and talk about what went wrong.
This week's guest is Holly Pester. You can catch up and write along here

THEATRE

For nightowls check out Sunday's online performance of Buyer and Cellar about one man trapped in Barbra Streisand's basement streaming live from Michael Urie's front room. 8pm ET

BOOKBOUND 2020

Recent writer's group guest Georgie Codd curates Bookbound, an online festival, with a wide range of fiction and non fiction writers, including Nikesh Shukla, Patience Agbabi and Max Porter. More information here

Dalston Writers Group... But not as we know it

Hello Writers (and anyone else who stumbles across this page - hello to you too!)

As we won't be meeting IRL for now, there's an opportunity to join an online group. The sessions will be offered weekly starting tonight! Tuesday April 14th and will vary in format.

It will likely be a shaky affair to start off with, but the chance to chat with other writers is there, if you feel you'd like it. 

For continuity, these will run in the regular slot Tuesday 6-7.30pm.

If you have any questions or suggestions about how to join, please get in touch by emailing Zoe.ranson@hackney.gov.uk

Technical issues not withstanding, we look forward to virtually writing with some of you, soon.
