A writers’ group in Walthamstow

Forest Writers is looking for new members. We meet on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at the Quaker Meeting House, 1a Jewel Road, Walthamstow, London E17 (map). We read our stuff, and offer constructive criticism on what we've heard. It is very much a reading-out-loud group. We read fiction and non-fiction, from novels-in-progress, short stories, poetry, true crime, autobiography, sci-fi and steampunk, to stream-of-consciousness and avant-garde. It is not as good as it sounds, but it's alright. Useful even. The best thing about it really is that it's walking distance if you're in Walthamstow. And that's the main thing, right? Occasionally we 'socialise' (restaurants, parties). The way it works is that you come along to a few meetings, read some of your writing, and if you want to join then there's a small annual subscription. Each meeting costs a couple of quid for the room. You're more than welcome to come along for a look, just phone Sarah on 07870 270844. Or email: .
