Bi-weekly on Wednesdays @ 20:00 CET / 11:00 PDT
We’re a small group of international memoir / nonfiction writers. Are you working on a long-form project or collection of shorter pieces? Whatever themes you’re interrogating or exploring, this feedback group aims to create a supportive environment where you can feel free to relive and alchemise those thoughts, memories and experiences into a polished text. We’re specifically looking for dedicated writers interested in seeing their projects through to publication.
