NOTE ABOUT FEBRUARY MEETING

TBC ... but likely include... like last time, the writing time will be a choice between getting some work done yourself, or an exercise in creative non-fiction. 

The second half will be focused on the group itself. Now we're funded and are running monthly sessions, I want to hear your thoughts as to how to best build this as a long-term project.

About Jorik Mol

Jorik Mol (he/him) is an queer autistic author, currently writing his first non-fiction book for Jessica Kingsley Publishers. Out in 2024, Feeling Fast and Slow is about autism, empathy and the limits of what non-autistic people believe we are. In 2018, Jorik’s novel Teeming was selected for Penguin’s ‘Write Now’-workshops, currently under resubmission to TGLA. Teeming is set in 1930s Holland, within the minds of three queer autistic young people as they learn to survive in a world yet without a name for who they are. Jorik is in high demand as an educator on neurodiversity: https://www.jorikmol.com
