Short story writing workshop group

[char1ie]

I am thinking of starting a small short story writing group. The idea is that budding short story authors get together monthly to encourage and critique each others short stories. The aim is to encourage those of us (like me) that are keen to write but need a nudge to get started, and to provide a friendly group to provide feedback and support.

I think I would try to keep the group to around five and aim to meet in each other's houses for a few hours in the evening once a month.

If you're interested in joining, and have the will to write a short story, or are already writing short stories, let me know and I'll start to make arrangements.

Please send me a PM telling me a little about yourself and your literary ambitions. I'm 40, male and would like to write crime fiction.

Am currently away on holiday ( yes, I am sad enough to be on the EDF whilst on hols) but will contact more fulsomely when home. Briefly, I;m a journo and stared many stories - but have finished very few. Wanna write!

Nothing sad about that - holidays are dull. PM me when you're back.

Do you know that we already have a local and very active writers' group in the area? East Dulwich Writers' Group has been going for about 12 yrs and we have well over 200 people on the mailing list. We've managed to keep meetings small and informal and have people on the list who are at every stage of the writing process, from people just starting out to published authors and competition winners. See www.edwg.co.uk for details.

Thanks Debi, I didn't know. I did a search of the forum before I posted.

Anyway, I will email re joining.
