Stuck in a writing slump? Come shake it off.
Join poet Bella Cox for a playful, pressure-free Tuesday evening workshop exploring the Golden Shovel form, popularised by Terrance Hayes. This deceptively simple structure unlocks surprising, powerful writing. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just getting started, this is your invitation to loosen up, experiment, and actually enjoy the process again.
Hosted in partnership with QueerSwap at their new Vauxhall venue, this session is proudly queer and ally-friendly. It’s a space to create, connect, and be fully yourself.
Over two hours, you’ll be guided through prompts, examples, and hands-on writing time. You’ll leave with new work, fresh ideas, and a renewed sense of momentum. Expect warmth, curiosity, and a few “oh wow, I didn’t know I could write that” moments.
Come solo or with friends. Bring a notebook, your notes app, or just your brain.
Make your Tuesday evening count. This is the reset your writing’s been waiting for.
