Robin
"An eclectic mix of people and professions with at least one script writer, one published writer and somebody who ran a Creative Writing group. We were actively encouraged to offer constructive criticism of each others work which is a very good thing and there were a couple of exceptional writing efforts. " -

"A great night with a wide range of writers. Manish was the perfect host and the evening was well structured. I was impressed, not only with the work the writers shared but with the quality of the feedback and critiscism. Looking forward to the next one." -
Robert Grant
"Just the right numbers and a good opportunity to share your work and receive immediate feedback and critique. Also, there is a good mix of styles and genres of work, so the feedback has greater weight given that not everybody will be familiar with every type of work brought to the meetup and they will be seeing things with fresh eyes and ears."
Ben
"I thought the stated aim of constructive but honest feedback was achieved totally - not always the case with writing groups."
