This creative writing group, led by author Amy Mason, concentrates on writing exercises designed to provide ideas for new writing or new ways of presenting work.  As always, supportive peer critique is central to the group’s activity.

Sessions currently focus on structuring longer pieces of writing and the challenges of working on ongoing projects. The aim is to complete one piece of work by the end of the three meetings

Creative writers of all disciplines are welcome, as are artists who use text in their work.
