WeHo Reads: How We Gather | A Celebration of Women Who Submit’s New Anthology Gathering

  • Date: March 16, 2022 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM  
  • Location: Online Event
In response to Safer at Home in March 2020, Women Who Submit (WWS) began weekly, virtual, Saturday check-ins where members shared space for creativity and self-care. Over the months members wrote together, cried together, and danced together. While WWS exists to empower its members’ efforts to share their writing with the world, this time brought in new needs beyond staying accountable and productive. And from this shared space came the theme for their 2nd anthology, Gathering, recently published by Jamii Press, which captures the essence of this collaborative online space from the creation of the editorial team to the stories, poems, essays, and plays published in its pages.
 
This event will feature a performance of “Ahoy, Women Who Submit,” a collaborative poem created during Saturday check-ins and published in Gathering; a collaborative writing prompt facilitated by Hazel Kight Witham; as well as a panel talk with the Gathering editorial team and contributors to the anthology. Joining the event will be Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo, Tisha Marie Reichle-Aguilera, Noriko Nakada, Flint, and more. A moment of healing at the start of the event will be led by Thea Pueschel.

WeHo Reads is a literary series presented by the City of West Hollywood and produced by BookSwell. More information and events at www.weho.org/wehoreads.
