Elizabeth Bray, the Workshop’s founder, always said “Everyone has at least one good book inside them.” This writers’ workshop is a self-help group that inspires and develops writing through the mutual exchange of ideas. Current members’ writing projects include various types of fiction, family memoirs and historical biography. Each week four members read their work-in-progress, the group listens and offers constructive feed-back. We consider such topics as getting started, voice, characterisation, plot and story lines, handling dialogue and so on. The aim of the Workshop is to enable members to complete their project, which may take more than one year. Then, if they wish, to continue with another into the following year. We welcome new members at any time of the year, subject to vacancies, each of whom adds to the creativity and confidence of us all.
