Face-to-face and screen-to-screen contact with our team and guest experts...
Sometimes simply reading about creativity and publishing is not quite enough, and you crave feedback on your writing and actual contact with those in the know. That's where our events programme comes in. Join us in the Mslexia Salon for a full programme of online events, and if you'd prefer to devote a whole week to making progress of your writing stay tuned for details of our upcoming Women's Writing Weeks.

Lying Our Way to the Truth | 17 October, 5-7pm via Zoom Join our 2020 Poetry Pamphlet Competition winner Alison Binney to explore the relationship between turth, accuracy and precision in poetry-writing, considering the extent to which each of these things may be of value, both when we write poems about historical events and when we draw on experiences closer to home.
