Writers Circle
A support group for aspiring writers
The Writers Circle began as an outgrowth from a LINKS meeting on 'How to Write Your Life Story' presented by writer / publisher Jo Parfitt in April 2011.
After this inspiring workshop, a number of members wanted to take part in a Writing Course so we organized the eight-week course using the workbook "Write your Life Stories" by Jo Parfitt. The facilitator for the course was Maria Kuznetsova, a CONNECT INTERNATIONAL intern, who herself was trained as a journalist.
Following the end of the excellent course, the group decided to still meet once every 3 weeks at different people's houses. The idea of the group is to help motivate, inspire, and provide feedback on each other's writing. A topic is chosen every week and the everyone sends round what they have written for the group to read. During the meetings, comments are exchanged on the various pieces.
