Precious precious conversations of beginnings were had. One important takeaway: "Sometimes what feels like a rejection, it is not: it might be an introduction to someone, make you think differently about your story, offer good feedback, open a new door..."

"It is a non negotiable. You have to read every day. You have to write every day." Raphael d’Abdon says as he reminds us that trade unionist Emma Mashinini (Strikes Have Followed Me All My Life) used to stretch days into the night writing by candlelight. #11thAWWS

"Start with your communities. Tap on your friends for feedback. Then tap on these resources online and the platforms that are available. These are communities that offer gentle feedback." suggests Quaz Roodt.

"first of all, read a lot. Read everything. It is a way to find your community. It will lead you to journals. A journal is a way to find a home. It is a way to experiment, to try new things." Stacy Hardy on publishing, at #11thAWWS.
