The First GlobalGRACE-UP National LGBTQ Writers Workshop

The first GlobalGRACE-UP National LGBTQ Writers Workshop was held at the University of the Philippines on 23-27 July 2018. The workshop is the first in a series to be held over the next three years and is a core component of Work Package 4: Making Life Lovable: Digital and Literary Productions of Cultures of Equality Among LGBTQ young people in the Philippines.

​

The national level residential writing workshops aims to create a distinctive space for aspiring LGBTQ writers both to formally hone their craft through constructive critique of their work by established and inter/national essayists, novelists, poets and scholars and to do so in a space that recognizes, values and makes safe their subject positions and subjectivities.

​

The first workshop focuses on poetry and will feature the work of 10 Fellows from across the Philippines who were selected competitively by a panel of established poets and scholars.
