Our group aims
to provide a fun and supportive environment in which to grow as
writers. Joining us will give you access to useful
feedback on your work and allow you to share in the work of
others. Alongside our monthly meetings we offer guest speakers and occasional outings
with other keen writers to attend readings and workshops.
We aim to cater for
a variety of different writing interests. Our activities
cover poetry, short stories, articles and novel writing.
