Back to Miseducation! 📖✍️
Join us for an evening of focused writing, experimentation, and play.

Aimed at folks who want space to try new things, sow the seeds of some new work, and develop their creative practice by connecting with q***r literary traditions and one another.

This is a structured session, where we will read a couple of short texts (theme: q***r education) and use them as a jumping-off point for our own writing experiments.

Date: Thursday 24th September 2026
Time: 6.30-8.30pm
Venue: The Bookish Type, 77a Great George Street, LS1 3BR
