Who we are

Barnsley Writers - Writers of all levels of experience are very welcome. All that's needed is enthusiasm!

Description

We write in response to an exercise set by a member and share our responses. We then share writing we have been doing on our own projects for discussion and comment.

Some members have gone on to publish/self-publish their work. Others are happy just to write each week and meet like-minded folk.

Library meetings are focused on writing: the week’s leader presents a theme to provoke new pieces in any genre. The YMCA meetings are Read-arounds, when members read out their new writings and invite comment.  The schedule does sometimes vary when the Library hosts events.

We also drink tea/coffee and eat cake/biscuits.

We welcome creative writers, new or more experienced, and try to be an asset to both. All that's needed is enthusiasm!

Contact us through our Facebook page, or email Graham at grippon1@tiscali.co.uk. Otherwise, feel free to join one of our Thursday meetings.


Opening Times

Thursday mornings from 10.15 am to 12.15, on the ground floor of the Library@ the Lightbox
