The group is for anyone who shares an enthusiasm for writing.
The idea is to operate both online and offline to provide a forum for people to receive encouragement, advice and feedback on their writing.
Our aim for feedback is honesty without leaving bloodstains on the floor (as pub landlords tend to frown on this). When offering feedback, we ask you to be sincere - it does nobody any good to be told that their painful text is great - but at the same time to be constructive. Aim to balance things you liked with things you think could be improved, and to give the writer some suggestions about ways to improve.
The group is not just about critiques, it's also about help with that tricky plot, discussion of characterisation, ideas on publishers to approach ... anything at all that would be helpful with your writing.
Meetings take place on the third Monday of the month, from 7pm to 9.30pm at the Shooting Star pub near Liverpool Street. After the formal part of the meeting, we move upstairs to the bar for drinks.
WHAT?
A monthly get-together for London writers who want input on their work.
The meeting takes the form of six time-slots of 20 minutes. You can use this slot in whatever way would help your writing. Read more
This group doesn't have any additional upcoming Meetups scheduled.
What members are saying
“ Look forward to the next one. ”
“ My second meetup - I am just getting started and really appreciate being around other writers and sharing thoughts and tips. I am a fairly lazy writer and it gives me inspiration. ”
