Lampshade Writers Circle - 2.0

Writing is an act of solitude, but writers need not be alone.  

Lampshade aims to foster a nurturing collegium of writers, authors, and poets, who meet and read their work out aloud to fellow writers. We hope this will create an atmosphere of positive criticism and informed critique that will support the growth of writers. 

There are some basic rules to be followed:

0. Ensure your written work is under 5-7 minutes of reading (Poetry and Prose are welcome)

1. Be kind. 

2. Don’t be pompous or cutting in your language. Elevate rather than tear down a budding artist. 

3. No self-promotion without prior permission or notice.

4. Keep your review within three minutes. 

5. Be unbiased, or at least declare your biases beforehand. 

6. Write regularly.

How do we take part in this?

a. Fill this form: Lampshade Writers Application Form

b.  We confirm a spot only after thorough evaluation, hence, please fill the form diligently.
