Spill the Ink is a poetry writing group, hosted by Katrina Kaye, based in Albuquerque, NM. The goal of this group is to conduct monthly writing workshops, while creating a community of writers.

Envision, if you will, a monthly meeting of writers who congregate in the hours before a local open mic to generate some creative writing and find some inspiration. We will hold each other accountable for squeezing our creative juices by conducting writing prompts, sharing techniques and strategies, and workshopping our poems.

In-Person Workshops will be hosted before local Open Mics and may appear at any place around the city. Currently, we are partnered with Slambrosia which takes place at Ambosia, 4805 Lomas, on the last Tuesday of even numbered months and the Mindwell Open Mic which takes places at Ambosia the last Tuesday of odd numbered months.

As the host of the workshop, I will schedule the monthly workshops, create the invite, and provide possible prompts for writing, but this is not a classroom or a dictatorship. In fact, I would love it if this group really lacked hierarchy, and we could all sit around a table with our variety of educations, experiences, styles, backgrounds, and publication credits and really just see each other as writers. Any member of the group can facilitate a workshop, and I bring in guest facilitators whenever I can.
