Two writing workshops presented by our community partner, Gathering Ground, will invite you to explore yourself and the people in your life as heroes.

We'll name archetypes and mythology in the journeys we see around us. And we'll do it all through a lens of queerness, in a space that welcomes those who are queer, those who are not, and those who are still figuring it out.

This series has two workshops. Participants are welcome to attend either or both. It will be offered both in person (this event post) and online ( click here for more information). Please contribute as-you-can when you register, to meet our costs. Everyone is welcome to attend, regardless of ability to pay.

The workshops will be led by Elijah Merrill (he/him), a fantasy novelist, a playwright, and the Curator of Writing at Gathering Ground. Elijah is fascinated by folklore from around the world, the history of United States immigrants and migrants, firsthand accounts of resistance to tyranny, and theatre that centers marginalized voices. His plays have been workshopped or produced by Somniterum Productions, Parley Productions, and the Bush School Theater. Elijah graduated from Goddard College with an individualized degree focused on fiction writing and history.

Writers of all levels are welcome.
