Check out the q***r Eavesdrop Magazine for free writing workshops this summer!
“Eavesdrop is a nonprofit multimedia community founded on Canada’s West Coast that supports q***r, disabled, BIPOC, and other marginalized artists to showcase their work. Eavesdrop Magazine takes patrons through a multimedia exploration of self, art, and belonging. We publish poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction, plays, comics, visual art, and spoken word. Through anthologies, podcasts, audio editions, and other content, Eavesdrop cuts through the industry’s status quo by making literature more accessible fiscally, visually, and audibly. We are passionate about sharing the experiences this diverse country has to offer through every perspective and emphasize growing alongside one another as we untangle what it means to be an artist in the modern world.”
This summer, join Eavesdrop for three free writing workshops ~
Over six weeks, we will talk about craft, visit prompts, and aim to guide participants through creating work ready to read or publish.
Preference will be given to folks located in the Cowichan Valley, and then Vancouver Island, but everyone is welcome to apply. There will be three sessions facilitated by Eavesdrop’s managing editor, Claire (two in-person and one virtual).
In-person workshops will be hosted at the Franke Jameson Community Centre in Ladysmith.

We gratefully thank the CVRD for their support in making this program possible.
