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 10 participants to ensure we make it round everyone’s work in time.
There will be no session in August, but do get in touch via the button below to register your interest in upcoming events.
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.
If you’re after some inspiration, try our curated list of books below, available through Bookshop.org.
