What weโre about
Write and Pint is a warm and friendly social group for writers and non-writers alike.
It's a relaxed creative writing workshop and a great opportunity to get to know new people by sharing creative ideas over a drink ( ... or two).
We hold our sessions once a week in the upstairs room of one of Londonโs most historic and characterful pubs.
Come inside (6:30pm) and get yourself a drink at the bar. Make your way upstairs and find a seat (7:00pm). Say hello to some lovely people, help yourself to the free snacks, then get out your notebook and pen and let the ideas flow with the beer/wine/lime and soda.
Your session leader, Sean, is an experienced creative writing teacher with a degree in creative writing, a masters in literature, and fair bit of experience drinking good beer!
Sean will take you through a series of quick, fun writing games and exercises that will help your writing flow.
Youโll never have to read your work in front of the group. You can just relax. The focus here is on fun.
If you're a serious writer, the sessions are also great for finding new inspiration and mining for new ideas.
But no previous experience of writing is necessary. So if you havenโt put pen to paper in a creative way since primary school, this group is for you, too.
At the end of each session youโll go home with that lovely warm feeling that comes from sharing a drink and some new ideas among friends.
Youโll also have a free Penguin book to take home with you to give you extra inspiration between sessions.
If you like, you can even join the crew afterwards for a drink and a chat in the pub downstairs before you go home.
Canโt wait to see you there.
Cheers!
