About this Event

A community writing workshop in which participants are asked to bring 2-3 pages of fiction to read and receive feedback. Facilitated by Raquel Baker via Zoom. Registration required.

Please spend some time before the workshop learning how to share documents via Zoom. It will keep the session moving if you're able to make your work viewable quickly and easily. Here's an instructive video that might help.

The workshop can sometimes reach high levels of attendance, which means not everyone will get a chance to read every session.

Zoom link will be emailed on the day of the workshop

Workshop attendees are expected to participate in a respectful, constructive, and considerate manner. Beyond Baroque reserves the right to remove individuals from our workshops, virtual or otherwise, if they are not respecting the space, fellow participants, or facilitator.
