Mentored Co-writing Space at the Lamb and Flag, Sundays

Come and write In the Shadow of the Inklings!

EVERY SUNDAY, 10:30–1PM

The Writing Well has teamed up with The Lamb and Flag, Oxford, to provide a welcome and cozy, mentored co-writing space in which to come and write in community, in the shadows of many great writers who have sat and had a pint and a chat there through the centuries.

The Lamb and Flag is a pub with a wealth of literary connections, not least the informal group of writers known as the “Inklings” (CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien and their circle), and Thomas Hardy (who wrote Jude the Obscure there), to mention but a few literary greats who have passed through their doors.

Every Sunday, writers (of any genre and form, at any level) are invited to come at 10:30am for a warm welcome a free coffee and a piece of cake, a check in and a chat, before we respond to a brief (optional) prompt at 10:45 to get us in flow, then we start writing together for two hours at 11am.

The group is popular and growing - please contact Kate to ensure a place, or turn up on time at 10.30 on the day. The group is advertised on other sites too which is why the numbers here are limited to 5. If a session appears as sold out, please contact Kate directly who might be able to find room.

Sessions are run on a ‘Pay-what-you-can’ option to Kate to keep the sessions viable. There will be free tea and coffee and cake - order before 11am.

Kate is on hand for advice and inspiration if you need it. (Kate is an exPublisher, editor, ghostwriter, bookfixer, poet and novelist who runs workshops and spoken word events in Oxford, London, N Yorkshire, Scotland and beyond).

Contact Kate for more info. Or just turn up at 10:30 with a pen, paper/laptop and an open mind.

“Kate is an inspiring leader, the group so welcoming, giving me permission to write and believe in myself as an author.” – KB
