Workshops & Writers' Groups

A group for ten people interested in all forms of poetry. Monthly submissions are collated into a journal by the facilitator. Each member in turn receives the journal, and has four days to comment on the contributions, before emailing it to the next person on the list. After all members have commented, the facilitator compiles the feedback for each member.

A fortnightly online writing group for new members who enjoy responding to writing prompts. Operates similarly to Let’s Write.

The Society has two or three Work In Progress groups with three to five members. New groups are set up as needed. The members support each other to develop a manuscript to a completed draft stage. Each group works a little differently but most email work of pre-arranged length at specified intervals for peer comment. Some groups arrange Zoom meetings. Once a group is established members decide the format that suits them.
