Polish a piece and bring copies to get critiqued! Last time, Arestia helped us find our inner Found Poet. Edit yours and bring them to our next meeting.

Meeting tomorrow

Good evening OUTwriters,

Just a reminder that we’ll be meeting from 8-10pm at the 519 Community Centre tomorrow for some fantabulous writing exercises and critique! Bring in your pieces honed from past exercises - gear up for the next TOZ or our upcoming anthology (details to be announced).

Some positions that need to get filled. We need some semi-tech-savvy people to keep our accounts up to date. If you’re interested in posting either a relevant video or news article about queers in the literary community, please contact me.

One last reminder to send a reply to outwritestoronto[at]gmail.com with the subject line “please keep” if you want to stay on the email list. We will be doing a royal flush at the start of March.
