Writers Group

We meet on the first Tuesday of each month, via Zoom. Zoom details will be emailed a few days before the meeting.

We are a friendly and varied group. We write 2 or 3 pages in advance, which can be inspired by our monthly themes (optional), or a continuation of your own work. We then share our work (optional) before the meeting and discuss it on the night on Zoom. The suggestion deadline to share your work with the group is one week-ish prior to the meeting, giving everyone a chance to read and enjoy it.

A piece of writing can be a poem/group of poems, a story, a play, an essay, fiction or non-fiction, a chapter from a longer story, letters, or anything else you want to write. You can use the theme to inspire you or focus on your own work. Any of your writing is welcome.

We have recently published an anthology of poetry, The LWG Poetry Anthology 2024, written by members which can be purchased from Amazon. One of our members has written a poem composed for the LALG website, typical of some you might find in the anthology called "An Ickleford Valentine”

Diana Newson (Group Contact) welcomes enquiries from new people - contact details are to the right/below depending on your screen.

The cost is £15/year subs for LALG members, £20 for non-members, to cover the cost of our annual anthology, competition prizes and occasional room hire. The first visit is free. New members welcome.
