Hi! The group has recently changed hands, so please bear with me while we change the descriptions. In the meantime, you can look at our events to get an idea of what we do. Thanks, Jobeda

Writing can be difficult and lonely. Sometimes we need to get out and away from our own distractions and excuses. Pubs, cafes and parks are nice but wouldn't it also be good to be part of a group of writers? So let's work quietly together, gently encouraging each other to soldier on, and minding each others things when we have to go to the loo... THE IDEA Is simple. We are a group of serious writers that meet somewhere comfortable and write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. Each person works on th …

For those who are geeks and like to socialise in a geeky way. This group is to cover all events from irreverent conversations, geeky quizzes, geek jokes (don't get me started on coding jokes).

The heart of this project is a focus on the importance of fairy tales as a creative force both in literature and culture. Literary fairy tales can be seen, in terms of genre, to mediate between, on the one hand, folktales, from which they often derive both form and content; and on the other, the more elaborate narratives of full-blown fantasy novels. The Centre will provide a forum where writers and scholars from various disciplines can discuss folk narratives, fairy tales and fantasy works, bot …

From inscrutable hive-minds and pheromone poetry to star-trek fan fiction and aliens with broadswords, from 15th century ballads of lunar banishment to rousing sea monster spitfire dogfights, from near-future social commentary to hard science cosmological rewirings, gigadeath, conspiracy, catacombs, alternative history, violence and confusion, failed explorations of time, the banality of the future, love, invention, beauty, dystopia and optimism, science fiction is as diverse as it is pigeonhole …

London Non-Fiction Books & Brunch Club While we can all give thanks to Grazia magazine for honing our WAG spotting talents and keeping us updated every time Cheryl Cole leaves the house with lipstick on her teeth, for those of us who also enjoy reading non-fiction books, it can be hard to find the right book club outlet. The purpose of this book club is to provide a relaxed, fun and social environment for women who enjoy reading non-fiction. Ideally, members will be: - between 28-38; - intereste …

Sharing the Solitude of Writing This group was inspired by the London Writing Together group and is for people in or near Brighton who write or who seriously want to. The format is simple: a host organises a session anywhere comfortable, e.g. in a café or peaceful pub, in their lounge, or maybe in a random nearby village. We then write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. We work on our own and set our own targets. What you write is up to you. The whole point is: you are not alone in the creative proce …

This is a group which shares her enthusiasm, where new friends can be made and the dialogue is rich and lively. We’re an East London non-fiction book group for women with some life experience under their belt who want more intellectual stimulation than the usual novel on the best seller’s list. We’re opinionated but not closed-minded, mature but young-at-heart. We respect what …
