QTIPOC Writers Group is a new, free writers group for QTIPOC based in Scotland.
The group will initially run monthly for three sessions and will be hosted by a different QTIPOC creative each month. In each session, the group will discuss and creatively respond to a short piece of media produced by QTIPOC.
This group is a relaxed, supportive space where queer writers of colour can celebrate the work of other QTIPOC artists while using it to inspire their own creative practice.
