Events

At our events we spotlight a theme and inform by connecting, listening and sharing work across genres through workshops held on the last Tuesday of each month from 6 - 8 pm.

The meetings cover both practical and thought - provoking discussions that challenge participants to expand creative boundaries.

Events are open to writers of any ability who are intentional about their work. Attendees range from university students to published writers to retired professionals.

Congratulations to Cindy & Victoria of @realwriterscircle on a brilliantly entertaining Brighton Festival event last night, with authors Samuel Burr and Tanya Byrne. Cindy and Victoria are so supportive of Brighton authors, both published and yet to be published, and the monthly Real Writers Circle events are a great way for us to connect.
Thank you both for all your hard work and generosity.
