Writing often calls for solitude, but writers thrive on community and connection. Join London Writers Centre and writer Tutku Barbaros for a session designed to inspire, connect, and support.

What’s in store:

  • Thoughtful, speed-date-style prompts for reflection
  • Space to ask, offer and answer questions
  • Room to voice your writerly needs, wants and desires
  • Opportunities to discuss tricky industry questions; commissions, publishing, agents and more
  • Conversations on how Lewisham, as a Borough of Literature, can meet the complex needs of its creative community
  • Meaningful connection-building and legacy-making
  • Playful collective poetry creation

Writers of all ages and stages are welcome.

Part of our Lewisham, Borough of Literature campaign.
