This is a club for reading and writing in London and surrounding areas. We will meet regularly to exchange books and literature, we will have writing workshops and the organizer will share information with everyone in the group.

This is a platform where writers meet writers, where ideas fornicate, where babies are born and their cries are shut by a dot. It does not matter if you already chose a genre or you wish to throw them all into a bowl, this is a place where you will continuously discover, experiment and get inspired without battle. This is a ticket into the world of unconscious, of unimaginable imagination and out-of-borders inspiration. If you wish to write, this is your first stop.

If you enjoy writing and want to share your work with others, this is your group. If you don't enjoy writing but feel the need to get stuff out of guts and pen, this is your group. If you enjoy reading and listening to other people's creations, this is your group. If you're too shy to show your work or fear criticism, don't worry, this is your group. You can come up with material in any language, as long as you speak English too. You can come empty handed with just your curiousity. Poets, playwr …

This London based group is for anyone who wishes to explore their creativity and connect with their inner voice through writing. Writing is an art, but it is also a wonderful outlet for self-expression and self-healing. Whether you only write for yourself or you're working on a novel, these workshops will help you to connect with your heart, express your truth and coax out the author within you. We'll get inspired in a fun and relaxed way, support and work with each other through any creative bl …

Quick Stories are really great stories you can read in five minutes. So... on the way to work, sitting in the park, lazing around with a martini in the evening, maybe even waiting for that friend who is always late to show up... Our group's mission is to write and then publish our stories in a series of volumes. The idea is that we all write our own stories and we all help everyone else gets theirs to a point where they are ready to be published. In terms of publishing, we've set up a system w …

We are trialing a second monthly meeting in Soho. Occasionally we also have an interim meeting to discuss full length scripts. You are invited to upload around 10mins of script (usuall …

This is an opportunity for London writers (novelists, poets, Orwellian journalists) to get together in conducive surroundings to have a drink and to discuss plots, characters, literary techniques, writing styles and methods, and to discuss the styles and writings of novelists we love.

We will meet in local cafes or other venues and see which locations work best for us. The main aim is to get some writing done, and therefore get closer to getting published (if we're not published yet) or getting our current project completed (if we are already published). But additional aims are to meet fellow writers wh …

This is a group for anyone writing a memoir with a spiritual/self-help bent. Preferably, members will be reasonably far along with the manuscript and looking for a mentor to help them better connect with their desired readership. A professional writing consultant and book editor, I am a huge proponent of real life stories and the intimacy that comes with them.

Now why not try it out? Come and see if it sounds good to a group of 'ordinary' guys before you spend two years in your bedroom writing it when you could be having fun instead or writing something a whole lot better?
