Ever fancied having a go at writing? Already write but want to get to grips with some new techniques? Want to meet people and have fun with the joy of words?

On the 24th July, we are opening our doors to all and sundry for a Public Workshop night, to spend the evening furiously creating poetry and fiction in a series of fun activities including:

Instant Poem, Outrageous Story, Exaggerations, Character Building, Reverse Story, One Minute Plot….

…and a few more.

Please arrive at Parenting 2000 for about ten to 8 so we can start promptly and bringing your own pens would be helpful. If planning to attend, please be aware that there is limited space, so latecomers may be turned away. If that happens, don’t worry! We are going to do a much bigger one later in the year.

(Note: We may not be in the planned room on the night, so your patience in advance is appreciated)

Hello all! The Poetry 2014 results are now available as well as most of the winning poems via the handy link over there —->

or via the Comp tab up there /\

In other news, the Short Story Comp 2014 rules and regs should be posted imminently. They are pretty similar to last years, but with a  few tweaks including slightly better prizes. Watch this space…

It has come to our attention that the Writing Magazine supplement has prematurely advertised a competition that has not been launched yet – The 2014 Short Story Comp.

Just to be clear:

The 2014 Comp will not be launched till late May at the earliest and doesn’t end till the 31st October, so please don’t enquire or send us entries for at least another month.

Thank you for your patience.
