New writing group comes to October Books in Southampton

A new writing group, The Portswood Writers Circle, has recently launched at independent bookshop October Books.

The group will next be meeting on Monday 22nd May.

The aim of the group is to create a welcoming and encouraging environment in which local writers of all genres, styles, and experience can explore the creative process together.

An organiser said: “In coming together to exchange ideas we want to create a vibrant creative cultural ecology, right on Portswood High Street!”

Attendees will be invited to share their work for group feedback.

There is absolutely no obligation to share, but if you do feel so inclined, attendees are asked to send a one page sample of your work to: info@octoberbooks.org with the subject heading ‘FAO WRITER’S CIRCLE’. These samples will be distributed among the rest of the group for feedback a few days prior to the meeting.

The meeting will begin at 6.30pm.

Attendees are asked to register via Eventbright, so the organisers know how many people to expect. To for more information and to register, click here.
