What we offer:

The Tuesday Evening Workshop

Our workshop runs twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesday evenings via Zoom, from 7 to 9 pm (UK Time).

• Format: We workshop up to eight pieces of writing per session, with about fifteen writers usually present.
• Reading & Feedback: Each writer is allowed seven minutes to read their work, followed by up to seven minutes of constructive feedback from the group.
• Focus: We focus exclusively on work in progress (first drafts or tenth drafts) to ensure all listeners can provide valuable feedback and engage effectively. We do not workshop published work.

We welcome new attendees! If you’re just starting out or don’t have anything to share yet, we encourage you to join a session to experience the evening and gain motivation from hearing how others achieve their writing goals.

The Peerclass

Peerclass is a fresh, grassroots take on the traditional writing masterclass. The format is simple: we learn by doing, with members taking turns to lead classes and sharing their knowledge with their peers. Join for the wisdom, stay for the craic!

The Salon

These take place on the first Tuesday of each month from 7 to 9 pm (UK Time).and are very informal. Come and chat with fellow writers and maybe pop into a breakout room to write.
