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.

Most events are in London and some are great excuses to getaway from the bustle of the city and enjoy writing in different environments.

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 …

Writing can be difficult and lonely. Sometimes we need to get out and away from our own distractions and excuses.

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 …

(If there are more than eight people wanting to join I will pick based on links to previous writing) The book will be a work of fiction. Members must commit to attending regularly.

Sharing the Solitude of Writing This group was inspired by the London Writing Together group and is for people in or near Brighton who write or who seriously want to.

We then write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. We work on our own and set our own targets. What you write is up to you. The whole point is: you are not alone in the creative proce …
