Creative Writing

Writing and story-telling have played different roles in our lives, but we share a common love of words and stories, and a wish to improve our writing abilities.

We have capacity to take on new members.
Please contact Kate, the group leader for details.

Information for prospective members:
Writing is a solitary activity but telling your stories requires an audience. Each month we agree on a writing prompt, and over the following weeks we write a story of some 1500 words (just a guideline, not a requirement) to read to other members. Do we laugh or gasp at the right moments? Can we suggest a word or phrase that better conveys your intention?
Together we get better at expressing our thoughts and finding our own voices.

If you are already working on a writing project and would like to bring chapters along to try out, that is also encouraged.

Each year Let’s Talk Suffolk magazine runs a short story competition to select the stories that will appear in the magazine over the next 12 months. This year, three members of the Creative Writing Group have had stories chosen for publication. Congratulations to Eunice Roberts, Susan Daniels, and Kate King.
