Creative Writing Group

This will be a small group for those interested in writing ‘substantial’ pieces of creative written work: novels or novellas, although shorter works such as short stories would be covered.

We would discuss some aspect of the writing process and reinforce it with exercises. Participants, who need no previous skill level, would review each other’s submissions.

The venue and day of the Group TBA
