Community Manifesto Workshop

​As part of the launch of the 1,000 Fans Bootcamp, t2 are inviting you to create manifestos for your proposed communities. These will consist of you writing an article that outlines your community's goals, challenges, and ethos. Manifestoes will then be used to call other readers and writers to join your community.

​Led by writer and poet Annie Hayter, this workshop will give you the opportunity to consider what sort of a writing community you would like to be part of, and to reflect on the different ways that you might approach crafting your own manifesto. It will be a welcoming environment, where we will contemplate our own personal relationships to writing, figuring out what we might wish to find in a chosen community of writers and kindred spirits. 

​This workshop is open to people of all levels of experience with writing and is aimed at anyone who is interested in being part of a writing community. At the end of our workshop, there will be an opportunity to share extracts from the work created, if any participants feel inclined to.

​We will explore the guidelines that we might put in place to best safeguard each other, responding to creative exercises about potential hopes and challenges for such a communion of minds. Additionally, we will look at examples of artistic and writerly manifestos as inspiration, before we begin an initial draft of our own individual articles.
