17:30 – 20:00 BST

Online event

For each salon event, you can book a ticket to the workshop or the reading, or both! If you’d like to be considered for an open mic slot, please book a ticket to the reading event.

The Salon aims to support and promote underrepresented writers and be an inclusive space where deaf and disabled writers can be part of a community, learn, have fun and share their work.

The Salon has workshop by Emily Howlett on ‘Designing accessible and interactive workshops’ followed by a reading and Q&A with Emily Brenchi, and an opportunity for participants to take part in an open mic (five x five mins slots will be available).

The Salon is open to d/Deaf and disabled writers writing in any genre, new or more experienced and is hosted by Jamie Hale.

5.30pm – 6.30pm: Workshop with Emily Howlett

7pm – 8pm: Reading by Emily Brenchi + open mic slots
