Do you enjoy writing? Why not come along to our workshops?
We meet in Studio 11 at The Forge every second Thursday of the month, from 3.00pm to 5.00pm. Each month, one of us presents a writing topic for discussion and runs a practical exercise. Outside the workshops, we review each other's work online.
You will find we are an informal group, ready to support and inspire you in your writing.
New members are always welcome!
Spilt Ink,our first anthology,is now on sale at The Forge and locally. It demonstrates the wide range of writing styles and forms we embrace.
