Brown Girls Write
Are you interested in South Asian horror stories, Bengali poetry, or Desi fantasy/fiction? Are you tired of the lack of people of colour in literature? It’s time for Brown Girls to create their own narratives and characters. Brown Girls Write is a writing group for all women of colour who are interested in nurturing their creative writing skills or want to give it a go. It’s free to take part and no writing experience is necessary – just come along, have a go and meet other Brown Girl writers! Brown Girls Write meets on Wednesdays at 6–7:30pm from 27 September – 6 December at the Deaf Centre, 2 Summerhill Grove, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE4 6EE Suitable for people aged 16+.
