What a meeting is like

We read short pieces aloud — up to 750 words, so there’s time for everyone — and offer friendly, constructive feedback. There’s a writing prompt each week, but no need to stick to the theme, or to read at all: you’re welcome to come along and listen until you feel comfortable. We also have occasional workshops and visiting speakers.

Curious? Read more about what to expect at your first visit.
