LGBTQIA+ Speculative Fiction Writers Meetup & Writing Group
January 22, 2026 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Get to know other local LGBTQIA+ speculative writers at this free meetup. Writers of all skill levels and experience are welcome. Bring writing materials—we’ll have a couple of opportunities for generative writing—and your fabulous self. This is an in-person event, and there are no streaming options.
This drop-in group meets quarterly on the following dates:
Thursday, January 22, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Thursday, April 23, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Thursday, July 23, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Attendance at all sessions is not required!
What to expect:
After introductions and an ice breaker, the group will move into 30-ish minutes of generative writing with a brief and optional share back after each. After a short break, we’ll come together for a final check-in and close with a discussion of what participants might hope to see at future meetups.
Bring:
Your preferred writing tools!
Accessibility:
The main floor is wheel chair accessible and has two gender-neutral single stall bathrooms, one of which is wheel-chair accessible.
