SUMMARY:TEN Talks: Sex in YA Communities
DESCRIPTION:Part of TENTalks – a series of discussions on ethical and philosophical writerly questions. \nSex is everywhere from ads\, to TV\, to music but should it be everywhere? In this discussion\, we’re asking two questions: should sex be present in books marketed as ‘YA’? And how should a fandom community act when a book marketed to younger readers contains sexual content? To answers these questions\, we’ll be looking at the work of Sarah J Maas\, an author known for her very explicit books that despite being marketed as New Adult very much still find themselves in the YA section\, and the infamous #DickSoap scandal that rocked her fandom and all of Book Twitter back in 2018. \nThere’s no preparation required other than having your thoughts (or your ears) ready to partake. But if you wish\, here’s an article about DickSoap: https://electricliterature.com/young-adult-novel-twitter-is-losing-its-absolute-mind-over-penis-shaped-soap/ and you can choose to read Sarah J Maas novels such as Throne of Glass or ACOTAR (‘argh my eyeballs’ discretion is advised).

SUMMARY:Writing in Glass - A Three Day Project
DESCRIPTION:Priority for N.E. based Squad writers. If you are N.E. based\, sign up by this Friday (20th) – sign-ups will then be open to writers in all locations of all Squads. \nOver a series of three days (Saturday 11\, Sunday 12 and Saturday 18 of June) you’ll get a chance to develop your writing practice against glass fusion techniques. This project will focus on distortion\, tension\, colour and the tactile world. We’ll be thinking about thing-power\, the importance of scrap in our writing and our handling of the world around us. \nAlongside glass artist Anna Selway we’ll look at different applications of frit\, stringer and ribbon. On the Saturday we will familiarise ourself with the museum\, and have a gander and play of the space we’ll be working in. The National Glass Centre is a historic venue right next to Sunderland’s old shipyard and metres away from St Peter’s Church. On Sunday we’ll work primarily with our glass pieces\, applying materials to our glass pieces. Then on the following Saturday\, we will receive our fused glassworks back from the kiln\, and will work on binding (yes binding glass!)\, arranging and exhibiting them. \nThis project will take place in the National Glass Centre in Sunderland\, so priority will first go to writers based in the North East\, before we open it up to other Squad members. The project will run from approximately 11am-4pm over the three days. If you are not based locally\, accommodation can be provided. If you will need accommodation for the night of the 11th of June\, please email Billie on billie@writingsquad.com ASAP. \nYou don’t need ANY prior experience to be part of this project\, just an open-mind\, and a love/desire to work with the tactile world. This is a fantastic opportunity to work interdisciplinary with a fantastic glass artist and a brilliant space.

SUMMARY:Awesome Poetry: The Air Year
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL SQUADS \nOne of the very best ways to become a better writer is to read widely and thoughtfully. Building on Emma and Matt’s great work in establishing the Awesome Play Text / Screenplay Reading Club\, and Francesca’s prose club\, Malika and Stevie are hosting the Awesome Poetry Reading Club to focus on how we can read as writers. \nIf you want to join us\, then here’s what you need to know: \nThis session will focus on Caroline Bird’s The Air Year. The text can be purchased here. \nThe Air Year is a time of flight\, transition and suspension: signatures scribbled on the sky. Bird’s speakers exist in a state of unrest\, trapped in a liminal place between take-off and landing\, undeniably lost. Love is uncontrollable\, joy comes and goes at hurricane speed. They walk to the cliff edge\, close their eyes and step out into the air.
