W.W.A Presents: "Romance vs. Love"

Hey Writers!

Join us for our seventh meeting, “Romance vs. Love" on Sunday, February 23, 2025 from 1:00-3:00pm at our new location at 131 Spring Street! We will explore hooks’ notion of loving with intention and the acts of choosing love over romance. After our discussion, we'll write and/or workshop our writing.

Reflect on:

What is the difference between love and romance? How are they perceived as similar?

What are things we can do to show we are choosing love?

Mandatory reading: Chapter 10 of bell hooks, All About Love

We have also begun workshopping! Please collect a 1-3 pieces of writing (up to 3 pages each) you would like to submit for peer review. We’ll be reviewing these pieces as potential submissions for our upcoming issue of our lit mag, LUNA. We are only accepting submissions that reflect this year’s theme of Love. We will workshop poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction, personal essays and short scripts. Once you RSVP, email your pieces to us at [writerswithattitudenyc@gmail.com](mailto:writerswithattitudenyc@gmail.com "mailto:writerswithattitudenyc@gmail.com"). The subject must include your name, date & title. An RSVP is mandatory before emailing your pieces to us.
