Thursdays Writing Collective has been writing together at the Carnegie Centre at Main and Hastings for 10 years. Over that last decade, TWC members have met to share the acts and products of writing, improve their writing skills and make connections within Vancouver’s literary community.
“TWC includes writers identifying as Indigenous, People of Colour, mixed race and white, trans and queer folks, survivors, and many other intersectional identities from different backgrounds. Our youngest writer is 18, our oldest is 87.
“Collectively, we write poetry, short fiction, memoir, songs, prayers, rants, hybrid experiments and personal essays.”
This will be followed by a writing prompt, and an open mic opportunity to share resulting pieces.
Publications include:
From the Heart of It All: 10 Years of Writing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, guest edited by Heidi Greco (2018) (launching April 12)
