Pride, Pen and the Page: a writing workshop for members of LGBTQ+ community

Pride, pen and the Page is the second of a set of six writing workshops to be offered this year by Surrey Muse Writers.
Surrey Muse Writers began in 2016 as a drop-in peer critique group for writers to determine if there was need for such a group in Surrey. After seven bi-weekly meetings, it became clear that it was needed. In the three months of its operations, Surrey Muse Writers ‘surfaced’ a couple of promising young writers, and it allowed sharing of creative work among peers and learning from the experience and knowledge of Resource Persons. The discussions that ensued were direct, intimate, close-up; criticism was given and taken with grace. Compliments to Resource Persons Jennifer Manuel, Toni Levi, Manolis, Larry Nicholson, Kevin Spenst, Heidi Greco and Judy MacInnes for their generous sharing of time, skills and ideas.
