FREE | The Writer’s Block: Bi-Monthly Workshop Series 2022
March 22, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
About this event
The Writer’s Block is a bi-monthly workshop open to ALL Black folks interested in the writing process. Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.
Are you:
- Tips for creating a mindful journaling practice?
- Want to learn how to write a script treatment?
- Looking for a Black writing community and don’t know where to start?
The Writer’s Block is a creative opportunity to let yourself play with words, genre, and among fellow storytellers at all stages of writing.
FORMAT: The Writer’s Block will serve as a write in, with 2 prompts, a 10 min break, and an open share of work.
Prompts will help those without a writing project to work on. Writing Exercise will feature interactive word play/games and theater maker games. Inclusions of different genres (poetry, nonfiction/fiction, plays, etc.) as a discussion launch point will support the writing process.
ABOUT THE HOST: The Writer’s Block is a community-based program hosted by The Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop.

Please note:
The Valley of Writers team scours the web looking for the most inspiring, elevating, and accessible events that we can share as a service to our readers.
The big idea is that in a virtual arena, more people can participate. Geographical boundaries matter less.
The events we list are virtual and can be attended by writers from wherever they are in the world.
Unless otherwise stated, we are not affiliated with and do not benefit financially from the events we post. Listing is not an endorsement of the content, opinions, or products promoted by the event organizers we feature here.
Please verify all dates, times and other event details as these are subject to change and are beyond our control.
What qualifies an event as ‘lit’? Any event that we think would teach writers of fiction, memoir, and poetry useful skills, inspire them to produce great work, remind them of the power of this work we do and build stronger, mutually beneficial ties between writers and other creatives.
