Introduction to the Whitstable Women Writers' Group

This blog has been set up as a platform for members of the Whitstable Women Writers' Group to showcase our work for invited visitors to the site as well as for casual surfers and fellow writers.  

We meet once a month in Whitstable to exchange work, provide creative, constructive criticism and praise, and to plan public events and projects. We are poets, writers of fiction and non-fiction, screenwriters and magazine contributors, published and unpublished. 

At our meetings, we set targets, exchange news of competitions and events, suggest homework topics and do writing exercises. We have a small collection of books about creative writing available for loan. Our members have participated in local readings in aid of a Tsunami charity.

Currently we have a membership of around 18, though not everyone attends every meeting. We will shortly post a contact number for women writers interested in joining us. As we are approaching our maximum in terms of membership numbers, we are considering setting up a second group which may be for men and women.
