Drayton Writers' Group
Next Meeting:
February 11th, Raven House, 10.30-12.30
STOP PRESS!
Shropshire Council has awarded us a grant to produce an anthology of writing about Market Drayton.
We are looking for contributors!
So, if you have a memory to share, a story to tell, a recipe, a poem, a song....let us know!
You can pick up a form telling you all about it from the Library.
We will be offering help to anyone who feels a bit shy about putting pen to paper - just let us know.
If you already have a piece of writing based on Market Drayton, past or present, and you would like to send it, drop it in at the Library, marked Drayton Writers, or email it as a Word.doc attachment to draytonwriters@hotmail.co.uk
Don't forget to put your name and address on the work.
Some members of the group and friends listening to Bert Molsom read his work at the Open Mike event in the summer.
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 10.30 - 12.30 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 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!
