50 Meetup Groups match “Novel writing” near Oxford, United Kingdom
Writing can be difficult and lonely. Sometimes we need to get out and away from our own distractions and excuses. Pubs, cafes and parks are nice but wouldn't it also be good to be part of a group of writers? So let's work quietly together, gently encouraging each other to soldier on, and minding each others things when we have to go to the loo... THE IDEA Is simple. We are a group of serious writers that meet somewhere comfortable and write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. Each person works on th …

A publishing professional who has represented writers for years as Commissioning Editor at Amazon and Head of Writers' Services for Bloomsbury and The Writers' & Artists' Yearbook, I’ve learnt a few integral things along the way, and wanted to share that knowledge with fellow writers on the way up.

Rules (which I've just made up) The entire text will be written during group sessions. The group will contain no more than 8 authors. (If there are more than eight people wanting to join I will pick based on links to previous writing) The book will be a work of fiction. Members must commit to attending regularly. Group members will be responsible for editing sections written …
Sharing the Solitude of Writing This group was inspired by the London Writing Together group and is for people in or near Brighton who write or who seriously want to. The format is simple: a host organises a session anywhere comfortable, e.g. in a café or peaceful pub, in their lounge, or maybe in a random nearby village. We then write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. We work on our own and set our own targets. What you write is up to you. The whole point is: you are not alone in the creative proce …
