Upcoming Events
Reading/Writing Clubs
Starting on 2nd September 2026, we will be running a four-weekly book club. "Books 'n' Business"±. Every meeting we will give someone the opportunity to tell us about a book they have read that inspired them. There'll also be the chance to meet new, like-minded people!
Starting on 16th September, we will be launching a brand-new four-weekly writing club, "Writerholics Synonymous"±. The aim of this club is to improve techniques and showcase work. Each meeting we will set a topic, encouraging attendees to stretch their minds, and one person can then read their story out at the next meeting.
Our Elite Authors can attend writing club meetings for free!
±Meetings will take place online in a Zoom meeting on Wednesday evenings at 6-7pm, via 4N Networking. Membership will not be required, but can beneficial
