Come and join Connect through Creativity’s CRIPtic x Spread the Word Salon with Rue Collinge and sign up for the Salon open mic if you’d like to share your work.
Whether you are new to writing or are a seasoned and published poet, gain inspiration and start a new ongoing adventure in creativity.
Read your work at the sharing spot
There are five sharing spot slots available at the Salon and if you’d like to share your work please complete the following form by 11am on Friday 9 January 2026: https://forms.gle/xAu1t5R4NbDDzdwc6
You’ll be asked to provide your contact details and a short bio and the reading you will be doing which should be no longer than 5 minutes. This is so we can send the work to our BSL interpreters in advance of the session. You can submit these in written English, video or audio file format.
About the workshop
Come one, come all – as long as you’re prepared for shenanigans! A warm evening to share our tips and tricks for training dragons, whatever that looks like for you. Perhaps you specialise in fireproofing furniture, or wrangling a wily wyvern… A space to celebrate, groan, and come together in the challenges – and innovation – of life as disabled writers.
Rue will be sharing a range of wild and colourful prompts to get you writing, along with a sneak peek of her pamphlet ‘How to train your Dragon’, with space for a Q&A. You are also invited to sign up for the open mic – we would love to hear whatever you have to share!
