The London Active Writers is a group that meets twice a month in central London to engage in writing activities and socialise. The meetings are informal and anyone is welcome.

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. The London Writer's Salon runs social events, workshops and retreats. Most events are in London and some are great excuses to getaway from the bustle of the city and enjoy writing in different environments.

Are you a professional journalist, journalism student or aspiring writer? No matter your age, come share your experience, network and of course socialize with other media professionals. We will meet around coffee, a drink, some food and why not go to exhibits and other cultural activities and events in Central London. Join, meet up, and feel free to suggest meetings!

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.

With a relaxed setting and a friendly group of people I'm hop …

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 …
