CRIPtic x Spread the Word are pleased to announce the new season of CRIPtic x Spread the Word Writers’ Salons for deaf and disabled writers which are now taking place monthly.
The Salon aims to support, develop, promote, and feature underrepresented deaf and disabled writers and be an inclusive space where these writers can be part of a community, learn, have fun and share their work.
The new season starts in May 2023. Each Salon will have a workshop and reading with an invited facilitator and an opportunity for participants to take part in an open mic (five x five mins slots will be available at each Salon).
The Salon is open to deaf and disabled writers writing in any genre, new or more experienced and is hosted by Jamie Hale and Alice Christina Corrigan.
The Salon is free to attend and will take place on Zoom.
All Salon sessions will be BSL Interpreted and interpreters’ names are listed on the Eventbrite pages and be auto-captioned.
The Salon is a relaxed space.
Open Mic participants and guest readers will be asked to self-describe when introducing themselves.
Any images used at the Salon will be described, and Open Mic participants will be asked to describe any slides or images used in their own work.
They cannot guarantee a trigger-free space, and we will request that people participating in the Open Mic slots flag content likely to trigger.
