Events & Calendars Meeting of the Trans*/Queer Writing Group

A facilitated writing group for students who want to explore issues of gender and/or sexuality in their creative writing. All genres/forms are welcome. Depending on the needs of the group, we may do writing exercises together, workshop members’ manuscripts and/or read short examples of innovative writing which addresses themes of gender and/or sexuality. No previous creative writing experience is necessary.

This bi-weekly group will meet at the Writing Center from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on the following Sundays: Sept. 29, Oct. 13 (optional), Oct. 27, Nov. 10, Nov. 24 and Dec. 8. Participants are asked to commit to attending most of the meetings in the series.

This group is limited to 12 students. It's open to Five College students, with priority given to Amherst students. Online registration is required. It's co-sponsored by the Queer Resource Center and led by Andrea Lawlor, writing associate.
