About us
A friendly group for local writers
Our purpose is to nurture the talents of all our members. Whether you are new to writing or a published author, you will receive a warm welcome. We cover fiction, non-fiction, poetry and memoirs, so there is bound to be something to interest you.
We meet on the first Tuesday of every month. At each meeting we set competitions, announce results, read our work, take part in on-the-spot writing challenges and provide feedback. We also make friends and eat cake. Lots and lots of cake.
Why join us?
Everyone is Welcome

Workshops
Topics include: show not tell, creating tension, writing memoirs and developing credible characters and plots.
challenges
Real-time writing challenges designed to develop your writing skills and enable you to help others do the same.
show and tell
At every meeting, writers read extracts from their current work and receive constructive feedback from the group.
