Queer Creatives focuses on queer writers and makers in Colorado. We aim to connect queer creatives with peers because we know that LGBTQ+ lives are enriched and affirmed through collective storymaking and storysharing. No matter how your creativity manifests, no matter how your queerness manifests, this is a space for you! At Lighthouse Writers Workshop, we aim to offer a more demographically complete representation of our writing community, offering a space that celebrates and welcomes the rich diversity of Colorado writers. Queer Creatives is free to attend. High school-aged youth are welcome, too!
September Meetup: The Craft and Business of Sensitivity Reading with Sydney Fowler
This session is open to Queer Creatives participants interested in discussing LGBTQIA+ representation in media and people who want to learn more about sensitivity / authenticity reading. Sensitivity Readers use our lived experience to help writers and media makers create more authentic and respectful portrayals of marginalized identities and communities. During the meetup, we will discuss the craft and business sides of sensitivity reading including assessing project fit, determining rates, and giving clients actionable feedback. We will expand the conversation beyond books into opportunities across all forms of media. Participants will receive a handout with reflective and actionable prompts for starting or building their business.
