About WritersGroup.co.uk

A practical place for writers and readers.

WritersGroup.co.uk is for people who want to write more often, read with other people, find useful prompts and tools, and join sessions that make it easier to keep going.

What you’ll find here

Tools, sessions, and resources that help you keep going.

The site is being built around simple, useful support for writers and readers: prompts you can actually use, tools that help when you’re stuck, and sessions that give you a reason to turn up.

T

Tools and daily prompts

A daily writing prompt, creative exercises, plot tools, character builders, and other practical ways to start, shape, or restart a piece of writing.

E

Events and Writing Rooms

Online Writing Rooms, Saturday retreats, Portishead writers’ group, and Bring Your Own Book sessions for people who want company, structure, and a regular reason to keep going.

C

Community and resources

Guides, worksheets, reading ideas, discussion spaces, and future resources for writers who want useful support without making the whole thing overcomplicated.

How we approach writing

Small starts. Useful structure. Better habits.

Writing does not always need a grand plan. Sometimes it needs a prompt, a deadline, a room, a conversation, or ten minutes where you stop rearranging the idea and actually write something.

WritersGroup.co.uk is for fiction writers, poets, memoirists, essayists, readers, returners, beginners, and people with half-finished projects sitting in a folder somewhere.

We care about craft, but also about turning up, making progress, reading widely, and finding ways to keep writing when life is busy.

You might find us through Portishead meetings, or maybe through the online Writing Rooms, daily prompts, tools, resources, or community spaces. The aim is the same: to help you write, read, improve, and keep going.
