This weekly recreational group, held during term time, is led by Michaela Ironwood, an encouraging facilitator. There are no grades or exams here, just lively discussions, reading performances, writing tips and exercises, editing lessons, and the opportunity to publish work in KSP's annual anthology.
Younger students have the option to leave at the one-hour mark, with the extra half hour focused on mentoring and workshopping of individual tribe member works-in-progress, where applicable.
