March 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, writers' block, etc) and get suggestions on that.

There are no set themes for the readings as the primary aim of the group is helping people with their existing work. Priority will thus 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 March is 'Memories'. But please, if you are working on something of your own, bring that instead.

The format is time slots of 20 minutes, which are yours to use as you please. For example, you could do a 10-minute reading and have time for 10 minutes of feedback, or present a plot problem in 5 minutes and have 15 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 around six time-slots. If fewer people request slots, 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. :-)

After the formal part of the meeting, we move upstairs for drinks.

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 Middlesex Street 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 before 7pm so you have time to buy a drink at the upstairs bar beforehand, so we can start promptly at 7pm.

To encourage people to arrive on time, slots can only be booked on arrival and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
