In the words of the English Literature Society:
Come join us for our weekly writers’ circle, led by your very own ELS representatives. What do we mean by “writers”? Anyone, everyone, especially you!
Writing circles can be intimidating, especially if you are new to the writing scene, which is why we decided to start a circle for emerging writers. We want to provide a safe space for new writers to share their poetry, short stories, novel fragments, fiction, nonfiction, screenplays, or surprise us with another genre.
In a safe environment, we encourage you to bring 6-8 copies of your work (1-2 poems, or about one page from a longer work). We will workshop the pieces, provide feedback, and save time to work on some fun writing prompts at the circle.
Even if you do not want to share your own work, come along anyways. Observe, edit, and find out about some fun upcoming events in ELS and the Ottawa writing and literary community.
