February meeting

The London Writers Cafe is a chance to either get feedback on a short piece of writing, or to describe a challenge you are facing (plot difficulties, etc) and get suggestions on that.

There are no set themes for the readings. I see the primary aim of the group as helping people with their existing work, so priority will be given to those who want feedback on a live project. Although I'll post a suggested theme each month, this is only for those who are not working on something of their own, and those readings will take a lower priority (ie. we'll come onto them if we have time).

The suggested theme for February is 'Unknowns'. But please, if you are working on something of your own, bring that instead.

The format is time slots of 15 minutes, which are yours to use as you please. For example, you could do a 5-minute reading and have time for 10 minutes of feedback, or present a plot problem in 2 minutes and have 13 minutes of suggestions. It's entirely up to you, but remember that the more of your time you spend talking, the less time there is left for feedback and input!

The group will run for 2-2.5 hours, which will allow 8-10 time-slots. If fewer people request slots, as in January, we'll be able to spend more time on feedback. If more people request a slot, priority is given to those who want input on their own work. If we still have too many, it'll be first-come, first-served, so don't be shy. :-)

Places are limited, so please RSVP Yes and click the 'Pay by paypal' link to secure your place.

Take the Bishopsgate exit from the main rail concourse, cross the road, turn left and Catherine Wheel Alley is 2nd right. The pub is about 100 metres down on the right-hand side, and we meet in the function room downstairs. Please arrive in time to buy a drink at the upstairs bar first so we can start promptly at 7pm.
