Hi SE23 writers. Does anyone know of any low key (ie meet once or twice a month) but serious (ie want to write professionally and get published) writers groups based in the Forest Hill area? I am interested in joining one.
Try the East Dulwich Writers' Group at
http://www.edwg.co.uk, email info@edwg.co.uk. Despite the name, members come from all over SE London.
Meetings are Saturdays nights and mid-week, usually about once a fortnight, but most people go once a month, less or more often depending on what they are working on. Mix of published writers right through to absolute beginners. Meetings are very productive and the members are lovely (yes, I am one). The group has self-published two anthologies and the last one won a national award (more details on the website).
I believe there is also a writers' group based at the bookshop on Kirkdale in Sydenham, but I don't know much about it.
Thanks for the reply, I'll check out the website.
