That’s right! Lez Write and Pride & Pen have joined forces to bring us some fantastic writing workshops. This week, we’re joined by Leo Drayton for a workshop on poetry writing.

Leo Drayton is a transgender storyteller from Cardiff. Leo collaborated on ‘Y Pump’ series as co-author on Robyn’s novel with Iestyn Tyne and has most recently collaborated with Elgan Rhys on the play ‘Your Dying Name’ for the ‘National Theatre Connections’ festival and developed short scripts for It’s My Shout. One of his poems was featured in the first Welsh LGBTQ+ anthology, Curiadau, and he reached the semi-finals of the Roundhouse poetry Slam in 2022. Leo is keen to write about his experiences as a trans man and share stories of the often under-represented queer community.

This event is supported by Literature Wales’ Inspiring Communities Fund.
