JQY is proud to present the new JQY Writer's
Group program!
The purpose of this program is
to nurture, inspire and coach young writers (or members who just enjoy
writing) of JQY and the Jewish LGBT community. More importantly, it will
provide a safe, creative and open-minded environment for members to
express themselves artistically (beyond the monthly meeting setting).
This program is open to writers of all levels. All you need is an idea!
The
group will meet bi-monthly at a destination TBD. There is a maximum of 8
participants per group. Each group cycle will have approximately six
meetings. At the meetings, members are encouraged to bring something
they have been working on (or have been wanting to start working on).
Could be:
o Play
o Film or TV script
o Novel
o Poetry
o Editorial or blog (with intent to publish)
The
group will be moderated by a program moderator and each member will be
asked to share a piece of their material. After a member shares material, the other members
will have time to critique and comment within a positive, nurturing
safe environment. Within each cycle, there will also be guest artists
(writers, directors, producers, etc.) invited who will come to speak to
the group, share their experiences and take questions.
If you are interested in signing up or have any additional questions, please email
Looking forward to hearing from you.
