Leith Social Club and The Good Egg Project presents: The Chicken Coop Writing Group

Join us on the last Tuesday of the month from 6-8.30 pm for an evening of writing at Leith Social Club with writer Naomi Head (https://instagram.com/naomieah_).

Please note: We are no longer at Lost in Leith. Starting this month, we're in our new venue Leith Social Club (39 Great Junction Street).

Leith Social Club is a 2 minute walk from Foot of the Walk tram stop and a 1 minute walk from the Kirkgate Centre bus stops (7, 14, 16, 17, 21, 35, 49, N14, N16, N35).

Writers of all levels and genres are welcome at this monthly group. Naomi will guide you through open-ended, multi-disciplinary writing exercises and exciting and supportive sharing sessions. From short story writing or poetry to creative non-fiction or copywriting (plus everything in between), you'll find something to spark your creativity at the Coop.

You can find examples of our tasks in the Good Egg Project newsletter on Substack (https://substack.com/@thegoodeggproject).

To keep these events accessible, we're offering pay-what-you-can tickets with a minimum suggested donation of £5.

Your donations will cover and contribute to the following:

£5 covers materials for the writing group

£7.50 will cover materials for the writing group and Naomi's organisation time

£10+ covers the above and a pay-it-forward ticket for people who can't afford to pay and any profits are reinvested in future Good Egg Project events

Alternatively, if you're not in the position to pay, please message Naomi to let her know and we'll reserve you a space with no questions asked.
