Writers' groups

Writing can be a lonely task. You may spend hours putting fingers to keyboard or pen to paper. Without feedback, however, it is difficult to know if you are getting it right, if you are communicating your story, your message. The Alchemy Press recommends that you join a writers’ group, where like-minded folk can read your work and make constructive comments. There are online groups but if you can find one which meets regularly, face-to-face, the benefits are enormous.

In our local area we set up The Renegade Writers’ Group. It’s been running for well over a year, meets weekly, and is going from strength to strength. Check out the Renegade’s blog or join them on Facebook.
