Are you interested in writing?
Would you like to be part of a group of enthusiastic and committed writers?
The Dear Green Place Writers Group started in April and meets every fortnight. We would like to welcome new members, of all abilities and interests, who are keen to develop their own writing skills and contribute to the aims of the group.
By sharing our writing we aim to encourage, motivate and develop the writing skills of the group through constructive, shared feedback, all within a supportive, respectful and relaxed environment.
We do take our writing seriously but we also have fun and enjoy ourselves.
