Whether it’s imagining a world unlike your own, creating characters, or writing something totally new, here is your chance to write for a bit of escapism.
Lead by Andrew Kauffmann, we will have a light-hearted look at fiction and poetry, and the opportunities to gently expand our imagination.
Please be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket.
