For our last summer Read and Write night of this year we have a couple of simple writing exercises, with time to listen to what results from your pens and keyboards.
When you have a writing problem it’s good to share with other writers who can not only sympathise but provide helpful suggestions, so we’ll be setting aside some time for this.
We can’t guarantee it will solve your writing problems but sometimes just talking about the issue helps…
Our regular meetings schedule resumes in September…
As the June Read & Write night date also happens to be #National Writing Day we’ll be joining in at Wednesday’s session.
We have a dialogue exercise, as we’ve had a number of requests to revisit the topic- so our aim is to write the first draft of a ‘dialogue only’ story.
Writing Magazine also run a dialogue only story in the early part of the year, so come along to this week’s Read & Write night and try this style out. If it works for you, you’ll have the start of an entry for next year…
The members in-depth group is taking a short break until the autumn…
Join us for our April Read & Write Night where our exercise topic and discussion is Description- Behind the Door.
Whether you are a prose, poetry or non-fiction writer description is an important part of your readers enjoyment and understanding; but too much description can be off-putting. So our exercise this session is to go big, then scale back.
The members in-depth group will also be taking place.

The NWC Committee decided that with the current and predicted weather- snow and freezing temperatures- the February Read & Write night should be cancelled.
Just to get you back in the writing zone we’re starting with our New Year Workshop.
Short story writer, Keith Havers will being leading a workshop on inspiration. Without it there would be no stories, so come along and find out how you can turn those light-bulb moments into the makings of a story.
Keith Havers has had numerous short stories published in the People’s Friend, and The Weekly News among others.
Writers Tell Lies – so how do you convince your reader?
Writing on a Saturday afternoon without distractions; what could be better? So come along to our city centre venue for up to four hours for our writing session, with practical exercises, the opportunity to share insights and gain advice.
