Would you like to work alongside other writers who can be called upon for coffee, inspiration and support if needed? This group is for all types of writers - journalists, novelists, screenwriters to name just a few - who would benefit from starting each week with a concentrated burst of a few hours' work, plus the ability to meet other writers and chat with them about their work. Writing can be quite isolating sometimes and this group is meant to try and enable people to get to know other writer …

This is a group for anyone interested in writing, both fiction and non-fiction. All skill levels welcome. This is a great place to learn new skills and make new friends.

Most events are in London and some are great excuses to getaway from the bustle of the city and enjoy writing in different environments.

This group is for people who want to meet up in and around Finchley, north London, in order to write. Meetings can be any time - weekday day-time, weekday evening, or weekend. We will meet in local cafes or other venues and see which locations work best for us. The main aim is to get some writing done, and therefore get closer to getting published (if we're not published yet) or getting our current project completed (if we are already published). But additional aims are to meet fellow writers wh …

This is an opportunity for London writers (novelists, poets, Orwellian journalists) to get together in conducive surroundings to have a drink and to discuss plots, characters, literary techniques, writing styles and methods, and to discuss the styles and writings of novelists we love. As members get to know each other, if they want to share drafts or excerpts of what they're writing that would be great too - hence the title draft soc. With a relaxed setting and a friendly group of people I'm hop …

This is a group for writers who are already planning or writing their first or latest novel. It's a chance to read aloud - between 400 and 1000 words - and to get informed and positive feedback. It's also an opportunity to ask questions about, and to discuss, the process of writing.

This is a group for both fledgling and experienced local writers to share work and ideas. Alongside a glass of wine or coffee, we will have some fun writing exercises and hopefully some guest authors to stimulate discussion. Whether you dabble in poetry, writing online, are attempting to complete a novel or children's story - come along to meet some friendly folk and feel inspired.

Writing can be difficult and lonely. Sometimes we need to get out and away from our own distractions and excuses. Pubs, cafes and parks are nice but wouldn't it also be good to be part of a group of writers? So let's work quietly together, gently encouraging each other to soldier on, and minding each others things when we have to go to the loo... THE IDEA Is simple. We are a group of serious writers that meet somewhere comfortable and write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. Each person works on th …

A publishing professional who has represented writers for years as Commissioning Editor at Amazon and Head of Writers' Services for Bloomsbury and The Writers' & Artists' Yearbook, I’ve learnt a few integral things along the way, and wanted to share that knowledge with fellow writers on the way up.

This workshop-style group focuses on writing for performance: play- and screenwriting, radio drama and monologues.

We all have the intention of working on our book, blog, novel, photo processing or other creative endeavor. So the thought is we will just create a time to show up and do just that. We also need some social time either sitting down after our work, or going out into the world. So why not have a group that combines both. Regular creative time, and occasional trips into London, or any other place we decide we want to go to. It would be even better if we could get a diverse mix of people to do these …

Group members will be responsible for editing sections written …
