I run Caversham Writers, a group for anyone interested in writing and meeting other writers in the Caversham and wider Berkshire area. For our online meetings, we also welcome members globally.

Membership of Caversham Writers is free, as are all of our events and meetings. But there are costs for me as organiser in running the group - principally Meetup fees. This page is for members to show their support and keep the group going.

Some more about the group:

All skill levels are welcome - published or unpublished, aspiring authors or enthusiastic hobbyists. We have members that write in all genres, so whether you write fiction or non-fiction, poetry or prose, fantasy or reality, you will fit right in.

We currently hold meetings in 4 different formats:

> Writing Meetings. In which we'll either work on (or start) any writing project of our own choosing, or we'll set a theme or prompt for all to use as a starting point.

> Feedback Meetings. In which we'll provide feedback on excerpts of members work, either submitted in advance or read out to the group on the night. Feedback should be constructive, encouraging, and tailored to the author's directed instruction.

> Author Events. In which published authors come along to talk to the group. We have a Q & A with them about their writing process and path to publication.

> Writes & Bites. In which we meet for a social evening, usually at a local restaurant. No writing involved in these events, they are an opportunity to get to know each other better and, of course, to discuss all things writing.

We also have occasional one off special events, such as literary festival talks, book signings, launch parties.
