Workshops to help improve your writing
Writing can be a solitary business and our members value the opportunity to come together regularly in a safe environment and share their writing as it progresses, getting and giving constructive feedback. You can develop your writing, relight your creative spark and gain insight from other writers.
Our writers work in different genres (thrillers, fantasy, sci-fi, romance etc.) and for different purposes (novels, short stories, scripts, competitions). They are enthusiastic, friendly and supportive. They enjoy meeting new friends and writers as well as improving their writing. Regular attendees find the discipline of sharing their work motivates them to improve, continue and finish poems, stories or novels.
While it’s not our remit to find you a publisher or agent – purely to support you in your own writing journey – many members do get to see their work in print; we have produced anthologies in the past and always seek the next potential project.
