About this Event

Come join Women Who Write Edinburgh for our first-ever Halloween event at Slow Progress Records & Coffee!

Cost? Tickets are pay-what-you-can with a suggested donation of £10.

What do I need to bring?

Bring an item to sacrifice to the Halloween shrine.
Costumes are encouraged.
We will provide writing implements and paper, but feel free to bring your own, too!

What can you expect?

An afternoon of collaboration on writing a M**der mystery podcast episode, fuelled by warm drinks and socialising with other writers in our own spookily decorated space with a Halloweeny/autumnal shrine.

Never listened to a podcast? Never written? Never been to one of our events? Never participated in Halloween? That’s okay! Women Who Write Edinburgh exists to provide a supportive space that fosters community and creativity for all women and non-binary writers, from published authors to people who don’t yet identify as a writer.

We’ll provide structured writing guidance on the day and will be haunting the space to support the group. We firmly believe that there are no bad ideas!

The goal of this event is to have fun and uncork any stagnant writing or creative ideas, not to produce a serious piece of material (although you are more than welcome to if you so desire!)

The best way to prepare for the day is to get yourself in the Halloween spirit. We’ll set up a WhatsApp group for people to share their favourite Halloween books, movies, short stories, playlists and other media. Even if you don’t come to this event, we invite you to participate in this chat.

Food and drink?

We have our own private space in Slow Progress Records & Coffee, but they also have a coffee shop where you can buy tea, coffee and snacks, which we thoroughly encourage.

What about afterwards?

For those who would like to continue the afternoon together, we will head over to Holyrood 9A for dinner and/or drinks, but do not feel pressured to join if you have other plans or your social battery is low.
