Sunday Scribbles & Sips (Share Your Work!)

Stuck on a writing project? Join us every first Sunday to get your creativity flowing in this laid-back workshop.

Though we start out with guided writing time using prompts, this is is primarily a feedback workshop. We will be discussing our works-in-progress and getting/receiving feedback on our pieces. In order to participate fully, please join our What's App chat and submit your piece by July 30th: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EBV6qBFQomSCaNZ5iyOSH3

We will start with a short writing session guided by a prompt. Then we will dedicate an hour to providing feedback. The goal is to encourage giving and receiving feedback, as well as inspiration from others.

We meet in the upstairs “Sala dos Livros” at Rota do Chá. Please head to the courtyard then up the exterior stairs to find us.

*How to submit your work for feedback: The link for the draft folder will be sent to those who RSVP for this event via Meetup. Upload a draft in the folder for the group to review before the event. We ask that you keep excerpts to under 1,500 words.*

Please reserve your spot, seating is limited.
