The Leeds writers group was set up to allow local writers to give and receive feedback on novels, short stories and poetry in a structured but relaxed environment.

Leeds needs a book group! Having just moved to the area I can see there is a dirth of groups for book and literature lovers. This must change! I don't read anywhere near enough but a group like this one will get me in the habit once more. I can't find a group like it, so I'm creating one myself. Once-a-month meets, discussions on the wonderful world of literature, and the setting of a book to read after each meet. Come on, come all, and we could make this an awesome group.

I have initiated this meet up, as I notice that some people in London have started a similar group, and I like the sound of it! The purpose will be for people who write poems, or short stories, to come along to an Oxford restaurant, and share there outpourings, with a view to entertain, and also be entertained by fellow diners. You may just have a funny story to share, fictional or true with the rest of the group. If you just want to come along and hopefully be entertained, again that is absolut …
