A bit of a last minute update: our first meeting of 2023 was scheduled to be Thurs 12 Jan. This will now be changed to Thurs 2 Feb, 6.00 to 7.30pm at Dalston CLR James Library.

Our theme will be new beginnings. 

As is traditional, there will be plenty of prompts to get us going. Stay tuned for more details, and the usual monthly email update.

The Secrets of Trees - Short Story Competition

Trees are brilliant story-starters. Think of all those roots, branches, leaves and shadows. Think of the Ents in Lord of The Rings. Think of The Overstory by Richard Powers. More on magnificent tree stories here.

The Urban Tree Festival competition runs from 4 December to 13 March. The theme is Secrets of The Trees. It is open to everyone 16+, and although it has an entry fee, it may be waived for those unable to afford it.

There is also a free online workshop on creative writing on the 4 December. Details here.
