The Romancing the Gothic project runs a monthly ‘Day of Creation’. It includes workshops and author, art and film showcases. It’s free for all and you can attend as much or as little as you want.
This month we’re looking for art and writing for showcases and workshops. All opportunities receive a small payment and links are shared for individual support.
