We have been meeting – and supporting and encouraging women writers – for nearly thirty years. We are open to all genres of writing: prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, plays and screen writing. Some members are striving to be published, many just enjoy writing and providing feedback on others’ work. Our aim is to provide constructive feedback in a supportive environment, fostering all levels of writing. We meet weekly but attendance is flexible – there are usually eight to twelve women at any session. We focus on workshopping each others’ work in a friendly and respectful but rigorous way.

We are a group of writers in our twenties working towards publication and developing writing careers. Members can bring writing of any genre and form. We meet once a month in person and via Zoom. We offer a supportive and encouraging atmosphere for young writers to workshop their pieces and hone their craft.

A group of experienced poets meeting to workshop and discuss members’ new poems for the month in a careful, friendly and free exchange. A guest poet is often invited to the group. Our purpose is to “keep poetry alive as a central fundamental human art, vocal but not necessarily performative. To re-enforce the value in an ancient art that emphasizes each individuals voice executed in the communal material of speech.” (Robert Pinsky extract Threepenny Review Issue 109 Spring 2007).
