Our group is encouraging and mutually supportive for members to share their work. There are usually short writing exercises, and these are often developed into more substantial pieces at home for sharing at the next meeting. Homework, which is entirely voluntary, is intended to encourage members to get more words onto paper. The group shares hints and tips, as well as writing ideas.

Anyone who loves words and using them, whether just for their own pleasure, sharing with others of like mind, or with a view to publish their writing, is welcome to attend this group. There is no pressure and no requirement to write anything you feel uncomfortable with! We are a supportive group, aiming to encourage and nurture your creative talents. We look at what makes a good story, plot structures, writing dialogue and tips for giving your writing impact, as well as using exercises to practise your writing skills at the sessions.

We normally meet in members’ houses if they have sufficient space, and take turns to host.

The group is currently full but please contact the group leader if you would like to be put on a waiting list.
