Thursdays on the Stoop is a series of free, virtual writing workshops led for and by our community members. With topics ranging from generative prompts to editing strategies, these informal workshops are sure to shake up your Thursday routine. RSVP below to get the link.

In this hour-long introductory workshop geared toward queer, trans/nonbinary, and disabled writers, we'll dive into the gate-kept field of screenwriting. Together, we'll pitch, draft, and revise our plots in a supportive, collaborative environment. Participants will learn about the three-act structure, form new connections, share professional resources, and gain new perspective on the screenwriting process.

Note: This event will not be recorded.

Bridgid Ryan is a writer driven by the idea that storytelling offers relief from isolation. She was head writer for The Core, a series on Shudder, featuring Glenn Danzig, Mary Harron, and Elijah Wood — a must for any horror fan. Bridgid is a community organizer, a tenacious advocate, and was awarded a 2023 CALI Catalyst grant, which supports artists and arts workers who are on the frontlines of effecting greater inclusion, access, diversity, and equity in the arts and culture sector. Her dedication to storytelling, collaboration, and inclusion makes her a formidable asset to any creative project, as long as there isn't a bird in the room. Bridgid is terrified of birds.
