We are a creative writing group based in Chichester meeting once a month in an informal environment to share work, be inspired and discuss the trials, tribulations and ecstasies of the written word. You should join if you enjoy writing - short stories, poetry or novels - anything goes!

Sharing writing's fun so whether your thing is crime, literary, romance, fantasy, science-fiction, mystery, memoir, whatever - the more the merrier and perhaps you'll be inspired to try some different themes or genres yourself. We encourage our members to share their work with the group, but don't worry if you're shy - we won't make you do anything you don't want to do and as a critique circle we're very gentle but hope we can give you feedback which will encourage you and make your writing even better.

Whether you write just for fun, or if you have more loftier ambitions we hope we can help with our own experiences in the industry, the quest to get published, how to finish a big piece of work like a novel and where to find competitions, workshops and retreats.

Come along and get stuck in!
