Blood Beats is back – and with a brand-new model!
Blood Beats is a trans-led, interdisciplinary space for LGBTQ+ writers and artists to come together, find community and develop their craft. And this time, we’re doing things a bit differently.
Introducing… Blood Beats: First Press!
We’re looking for 12 LGBTQ+ artists/writers to join us for 8 fortnightly sessions in which we will work together to produce the first ever Blood Beats Zine. If you don’t know – a zine (short for magazine or fanzine) is a small, self-published work that can be made up of text, images and/or artwork. It’s an innovative, collaborative, DIY way to produce and circulate creative work.
We will discover the subject and themes of the zine together and support each other with feedback and discussion as we work on its content. We will be joined by industry guests with specialist knowledge of zine making and printing to help us on our way – and work towards a launch event where we will release our zine to the world!
The IWC membership scheme connects our community of writers from across the island through a number of member benefits, including access to advice, opportunities and other supports. The membership also includes up to 10% discounts on events, courses and Novel Fair submissions.
Under this year’s Membership Support Scheme, we are offering 10 associate memberships and 10 professional memberships for eligible writers, each valid for one year.
