Feedback
We welcome all feedback, including criticisms, constructive feedback, wishes and/or positive feedback.
We regularly reflect on how our programme reflects the needs of BPOC writers in Scotland, and how to best represent and uplift our community. Feedback helps us in these reflections and to develop and improve our programming.
We ask participants to complete anonymous feedback forms at our events.
We sometimes hold focus groups and consult members of the SBWN Community.
Feedback is also welcome any time via email: scottishbpocwriters@gmail.com. Please note, all Operational Team members have access to our email account. Let us know if you need to speak to an individual team member.
Every year, we run an EDI survey and publish a report on the perceptions and experiences of Scottish writers of colour.
