LGBTQ+ Writer Development & Networking Day | Norwich | £40

Out on the Page is a catalyst for change; to connect, develop and promote LGBTQ+ writers and writing.

For Pride Month we’ve partnered with the National Centre for Writing for our first regional networking event.

The day will be facilitated by Paul Bradley our Artistic Director, along with Flo Reynolds from the National Centre for Writing and Jo Leigh-Lock, our Membership Administrator. It will be a relaxed event but we aim to cover a lot of ground, including:

• meet eachother, tell our writing stories
• find out what Out on the Page and the National Centre for Writing has to offer.
• find out from you individually and as a group, what you need
• explore the possibility of a regional network/group of LGBTQ+ writers
• goal setting workshop with Paul
• an introduction to our LGBTQ+ Writers Resource List - free copy provided at the event
• lunch (BYO) - drinks will provided throughout the day
• writer Q&A with local LGBTQ+ author John Ransom, author of The Whale Tattoo
• Literary Agent session with Emma Shercliff from Laxfield Literary Associates who are based in the region and who work with local, international and under-represented writers. 

However, we know from experience that the greatest benefit comes from giving you time and space to chat and discuss writing with other LGBTQ+ writers.
