Chelmsford Writers' group

SHARE DRAFTS On the First Wednesday of each month about a dozen writers, from novice to hardened, meet at 7:30pm in the Methodist Church hall in Hall Street. The object is to read our work and get feedback. Just come and listen if you want.	MEET WRITERS Novelists, journalists, short-story writers, poets, non-fiction -- Womens magazines, Science Fiction, historical, young adult, crime, domestic drama to travel. Come and share ideas and experience.
EXPOSE YOURSELF Whatever your ambition, it can be satisfying to see your work published. Read some here. The publishing process is a fraught and uncertain trail. Just getting to that stage is a lot of hard work and editing after feedback.	MORE There's email discussions and mentoring. We're hoping to run some events in the next year.

The main business of the evening is reading our work, getting and giving feedback. We chat over tea-break and discuss any general or specific aspects of writing of interest. We usually start on time and go on to between 9:30 and 10pm. There's no charge for the first session, thereafter £1.50.

First time readers have nothing to fear, and we're always interested in new voices. If you're working on a novel then page one is going to be the most worthwhile. If you're working on a non-fiction book then the introduction or synopsis is usually the bit that gets most attention.

The nearest car park (4 mins walk) is on the south side of Parkway between the Odeon Roundabout and Moulsham Street.
