Join us on Friday 20th June to showcase the poetry collection written by MA Creative Writing student, T Goffee.

We're hitting off the end of the year with T Goffe's Queer Poetry Showcase - come and see poetry on stage at the Hallam Student's Union! The collection covers childhood innocence, challenges faced by being openly queer, and the journey to internal and external acceptance.

Food and a free drink are included in ticket price! Additional drinks can be found at the bar downstairs.

The Creative Writing Society is a fun, laidback and welcoming society aimed at writers of any form and of any level. We're a diverse group of writers who share poetry, short stories and flash fiction, extract from novels, and scripts. We are also open to other forms such as comics and if there's a form of writing you want to try that we haven't specified, we are more than happy to welcome other forms of writing into the workshops too.

We hold meetings every Monday where you can choose to write either your own projects or using the prompts of the week, share ideas and stories and get advice off others, or use that time to socialise with the society. We hold workshops every two weeks, and a google drive is accessible to share your work on our Discord where you will also find the submission guidelines (word count etc.). Whether you want to discover unpublished authors at your university, share your work with other writers or simply want a creative space to work on any of your projects without having to worry about a deadline, grab your membership below!

*No one is expected to workshop if they don't feel comfortable. We know sharing your writing can feel personal and potentially embarrassing, so take as much time as you need to settle in. Our aim is to create a space to build a writer's confidence so they can feel comfortable sharing work they are proud of.

You cannot access the Google Drive or take part in the workshops/meetings unless you have a membership. This is a measure to help protect against plagiarism of our members' work.
