The London Writer Circle - was 'christened' at Foyle's Bookshop in 1924. During the difficult days of WW2 the members met in their own homes in order to keep the spirit of the circle alive. Reforming in 1945, it has continued since then to offer all writers friendly advice and constructive criticism at various London venues.

HOW TO FIND US NOW.

We meet on the last Wednesday of each month (not August or December) at the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank (nearest underground stations Waterloo or Embankment). We gather on Level 5 at 11am. If you cannot find us please ask at the Enquiry Desk in the Poetry Library - also on Level 5 - which opens at 11am.

Meetings are free. We are a small informal group meeting to discuss our work. For your first attendance you might like to bring along and read out a short piece of something that you are working on and intend for publication. If you would just like to observe at this meeting that is also fine. We always encourage newcomers to let us know what kind of writing interests them, what (if anything) they have had published, and what their writing ambitions are.

Please note: we don't cover plays, song lyrics or poetry. Printed out (rather than handwritten) work works best, and the maximum length for reading is 2,500 words. Work will always be judged truthfully and constructively on whether it works for the market(s) or genre for which it is intended. Our aim is to encourage and support each other in finding suitable markets for our work, and to share useful information on these.

We look forward to meeting you.
