Traditional publishing is notoriously difficult to break into for a new writer. How can we bring our creative ideas to the attention of others in the new digital world? There are other options out there and I think it would be great for writers in Tunbridge Wells to share their ideas and experiences of life, writing and publishing - as well as being a social group, good way to pitch ideas to each other and encourage and support artistic endeavour in Tunbridge Wells. This is a new group and I …

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 …

The heart of this project is a focus on the importance of fairy tales as a creative force both in literature and culture. Literary fairy tales can be seen, in terms of genre, to mediate between, on the one hand, folktales, from which they often derive both form and content; and on the other, the more elaborate narratives of full-blown fantasy novels. The Centre will provide a forum where writers and scholars from various disciplines can discuss folk narratives, fairy tales and fantasy works, bot …

I live in North East London and would love to her from other writers who share the same vision.

I would like to arrange/offer a fortnightly Saturday morning writers workshop group to encourage, support and tackle those more difficult parts of writing - whether you are a first short-story newcomer or honing your novel for publication.

Please contribute fairly, rather than just trying to sell your own work. Members …

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.
