Word on the Water
Creative Writing Group
Are you a writer looking to meet a group of like-minded writers to bounce ideas, offer and receive constructive feedback, and read contemporary and classic examples of strange fiction? And all of that while sitting by the fire on an old Dutch barge-turned-bookshop moored up in Central London?
Well that’s handy. Because following on from a winter of successful magic realism workshops, we are now running the Word on the Water Creative Writing Group, with a focus on magic realism and speculative fiction. The group is led by writer, poet and afficionado of all things speculative, Oliver Cable.
Participants bring a 500-750 word piece of their own writing (magic realism/speculative fiction) to each session they attend. We cap the sessions at 8 participants to ensure we make it round everyone’s work in time.
The next session will take place on Tuesday, 18 March, from 7-9PM at Word on the Water. Sessions usually take place on the third Tuesday of every month, but dates are confirmed on a monthly basis.
If that sounds like your thing, get in touch. Email Oliver by tapping the button just there.
