Set aside regular time and headspace each week to get stuff written. Our Sit & Write sessions set you up with a deadline to get that writing done. We meet weekly on Zoom on Mondays, 7:00 – 8:30pm BST. No need to book – just turn up in our online space on Zoom and write for an hour!

We meet in our Writers’ Hive to share a coffee (or beverage of your choice) and chat. The sessions are hosted by writer and moderator Emily Unwin. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month, 7-8pm BST. No need to book. Our next session will be announced soon.
Live events
Monthly live events to kickstart your writing, with space to chat with industry professionals.

We’re delighted to welcome Lorraine Wilson for a live Q&A. Lorraine is an ex-conservation scientist who writes fiction influenced by folklore and the wilderness. We’ll be talking about her award-winning novel, Mother Sea, which explores themes of family, belonging, and the legacy of trauma.

Join crime novelist Nadine Matheson for a live Q&A. Nadine is a criminal solicitor and best-selling crime fiction author.
