CRIPtic x Spread the Word Salons for Deaf and Disabled writers - New Season open for booking
Mon 5 Jun 2023 to Mon 24 Jul 2023
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 next Salon with Joe Rizzo-Naudi takes place on Monday 5 June 2023.

The new season starts in May 2023. Each monthly 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.
