Dear Changes participant,

We have decided to pause the online Writers' Group for the time being. This is due to low attendance and an appetite for an in-person group. I am sorry if this is disappointing news for some.

We are hoping to run an in-person Creative Writing Social later in the year. We will contact you again to let you know about dates.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the online group. All your ideas and pieces of writing have been inspiring to me and other attendees.

To mark the success in the group, I would be delighted if you were happy to share any written piece (that you have written in the group, or inspired by the group). Please feel free to email me on [email protected].
I will only share this with others with your permission.

If you have attended any of the sessions, I would welcome any honest feedback. This will help to shape future sessions.
