DEVIZES WRITERS’ GROUP
Our writers’ group is a col ection of people who meet together once a month to share our writing.
‘Writing’ in this instance is a word which encompasses a great deal. For many in our group it is the delight of experimentation, for hearing how words sound when put together and the sheer enjoyment this brings.
For others there is the serious matter of time devoted to shaping, editing and seeking to improve. There are too the aspirations of writing . . . the determination to find a publisher or an agent, win a competi-tion, to blog or self-publish.
And so the group is constantly evolving, but always seeking to support and develop the writers amongst us in a variety of ways. We have published authors in the group who bring their expertise and experience, but we also believe that to call yourself a writer you need not necessarily have the great work finished and on shelves. You are a writer if you write.
This anthology is the result of just one idea, put forward in the Crown Centre one summer evening . . .
the writing of letters. We hope you wil browse, relish the variety and find things to enjoy.
You may be inspired to write more letters yourself.
