CRIPtic Writers’ Salon is a bimonthly event CRIPtic and Spread the Word run on Zoom, hosted by Jamie Hale. It features a workshop run by a deaf or disabled writer. After this there is a break, a reading and a Q&A with another deaf or disabled writer. Finally there is an open mic session with five slots of five minutes long, and of course there is BSL interpretation. If you have other access needs please get in touch.
We are passionate about giving opportunities to emerging excellent deaf and disabled writers. We are really excited about the people who will be leading workshops and giving readings.
