The Writing Rainbow

Welcome to The Writing Rainbow, Queerolina's writing critique group! Local writers and poets across all genres can join us for lively discussions, creative feedback, and a community that encourages you to shine your brightest! ✍️✨Registration for September is now open.When registering, you’ll be prompted to submit a brief (<2,100 words) essay, story, poem, excerpt, or other written work on this month’s theme: Shocks. On August 31st, you’ll receive all other writers’ submissions and have two weeks to read, critique, and prepare feedback for each work.Every meeting starts with a warm-up free write, followed by a lecture or discussion on the topic of the month (this month is trope subversion!). After the discussion, we’ll then share the feedback we’ve prepared.Our goal is to create a engaging community of queer and queer-friendly writers to support one another’s work, lift each other’s voices, and help each of us grow as writers. Allies and questioning are welcome here - there is no “queer enough” test to belong!
