Grosmont and Whitby Writers’ Group If you're a writer - aspiring or otherwise - in the Whitby area of North Yorkshire, you might be interested in joining my writers' group. Originally based in Grosmont, having had 10 great years and 2 published anthologies of our work, we are now relocating to Whitby. We meet on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, 7-9pm The Common Room, Unit 2, The Archway (between Yorkshire Coastal Cottages and Thirkill’s Picture Framers), Skinner Street, Whitby. Attendance: £1 Tea and coffee facilities on-site. The idea of the group is that we support each other in developing our writing skills. It's extremely hard to know how you are doing as a writer if you don't expose your work to an audience. I understand this can feel intimidating, but it can also be a powerful way to hone your talent. If you're serious about writing, this might be exactly the right next step for you! I was a member of a writers' group in London for many years, and I found myself on a learning curve which led to me first of all publishing my own books and then being a published children's author. This is why I wanted to start my own group when I moved out of London. I love doing it, and I would also love to grow the group with new members. Don't be nervous! Our format is this: you can just sit and listen, and comment on other people's writing if you wish, or, if you want feedback on your own writing, bring along something you've written (a chapter, an extract or a poem, etc) and read it out. Members will give you their thoughts on what works and what could be improved. All comments will be considerate and constructive. Our existing members are supportive and friendly, and I will make sure the group continues in the same way as it grows. You would be very welcome to come along and see what you think!
