This is a writing workshop where we bring a piece of new writing and we present our work for 10 mins in English. The group gives some critique about your writing by reading aloud or sharing a non-editable link to our work via google docs online, and it is possible to share screens on zoom in the online workshop or bring a printed hard copy for the in-person copy.

WHAT LENGTH SHOULD THE WORK BE?

This depends on the form of writing you bring. If it is a long-form piece from a fiction or non-fiction novel for example then bring a section of up to 500 words. A shorter piece like a poem it could be between 100-400 words. If it is stand-up comedy bring your first 5 minutes.
