Drayton Writers' Group
Next Meeting:
September 9th Raven House,
10.00 - 12.00 (no August meeting)
If you can spare two hours on a Thursday come and join us in our group. More about the group below:
Mirka, Darrell and Lynn discuss scripts and how to stop the wind blowing stuff off our table at the Drayton Carnival.
Darrell and Mirka have experience in scriptwriting, while Lynn has had a fascinating book about the Women's League of Health and Beauty, titled IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN published.
Visitors to the stall were also interested in her book for overseas doctors arriving to work in the UK, THE PLABCITE HANDBOOK, which covers useful topics such as UK terminology for symptoms, how the NHS is structured and the protocols for working in the UK.
Contact us for details of both books and for Darrell's scripts
  
The antholgy Drayton Voices will be out soon. However, we are having a proper launch on Saturday September 25th at the Festival Hall, Market Drayton.
If you contributed towards the anthology, you will be sent an invitation to attend, and if you are unable to come, let us know and we will send your copy to you.
More about the book launch later.
About the group:
We're a group of local writers who are interested in writing in all its forms. Some of us are poets, others write short stories or articles; others have written (and had published) full length fiction and non fiction works. Some of us are absolute beginners, but interested in knowing more. We meet once a month from 10.00 - 12.00 on a Thursday at Raven House, Market Drayton, and we're always open to new members. Phone Mary on 01630 657055 or email draytonwriters@hotmail.co.uk for details.
In the group we read our work and discuss it, and offer one another ideas or constructive criticism. To do this, it's helpful if you can be contacted by email, but it's not essential. We also share news of events, competitions, and who's publishing what, and we have links to other groups in the area.
From time to time we run workshops which anyone can attend. If you would like to know more, or would like to be informed of up-and-coming events, email draytonwriters@hotmail.co.uk phone me (Mary) on 01630 657055, or Lynn Ashburner on 673782. From From time to time we hold open mike meetings, which are always fun, and invite guest readers along to read their work. We ask group members to pay £10 for a year (12 meetings) or £2.00 each time they come. This covers our rent and allows us to buy books, pay postage and pay workshop leaders. If all this hasn't put you off, come and join us!
