Each month we feature a literary guest and their work in progress and then we invite you to share yours in our open mic and slam challenge

Words in Progress is our rebranded live literature event in place of Sounds About Write.

The focus of our first event on October 8th is Poetry and we're delighted to be featuring spoken word sensation, Bassie Gracie

Join our founder, Beverley Ward, each month when she'll be chatting to a guest from the literary world and asking them about their writing journey and specifically about their current work in progress in a particular genre.

After the guest interview, we'll invite members of the audience to take part in our improv writing slam in which we challenge them to write on a specific theme in the genre of our guest and to include a variety of random prompts selected on the night.

Finally, we invite you to share your own new work in our open mic.

Each event will be themed around a different genre of writing and our first event of the year is Poetry (though you're welcome to share any genre of writing in the open mic.)
