A new Writing Group on the Central Coast welcomes new members interested in comedy writing for beginners. Learn how to make any sentence funny and create comedy characters. As long as it’s comedy, any genre is welcome;  Children and/or young adult fiction, Literary fiction, Memoir, Screen and/or stage, Poetry etc. The group will meet monthly for a trial period of approximately six months, depending on the interest.  Please call or text the convenor Gab for more information.

We practice ‘raw’ or spontaneous writing. We each select one word from a selection of words and then write in any genre for 25-30 minutes. We then read our work aloud with the aim of encouraging and enthusing the writer by making positive and constructive comments. Our aims are to practice our writing, develop our skills and confidence; to be encouraged by the constructive criticism of our peers; and to use the weekly experience as a brain sharpening exercise.
