Writing sessions


 We meet in cafes and pubs. We get work done, in mostly-silence. We stick around for a chat at the end.
These are our regular meeting times, but this is subject to alteration/cancellation so please sign up for the mailing list to check what's on this week! ​

​NB!
  • Charging points aren't guaranteed, please do bring a brimming laptop battery/a pad and pen.
  • Some of our venues play music, do bring headphones if you'd rather choose your own/choose white noise.
  • We don't pay any kind of cover charge - please do support the cafes and pubs we visit with a drink!​
  • ​Stuff Happens, so sign up to the mailing list (below) to hear about additions, alterations and cancellations (we'll email once a week with news, and again if there are last minute changes - no spam)
  • The Bristol Writing Collective welcomes all writers. We ask all members to respect this, and to understand that it’s not an appropriate place for critique of others’ faith, politics or identity. Personal attacks are also, obviously, not fine.  We would ask someone to leave if this became an issue - so please help us keep this space welcoming!
  • We often hear from people who wonder if they are writing the right kind of writing, or if the writing-adjacent thing they are doing is fine. Please come! You can work on whatever you like! We don't bite.

FAQs

Can I arrive late/leave early?
Absolutely.

Will we be sharing our work with each other?
Not at these sessions. Check out our reading sessions.

Can I come? (... if I write in this genre or form/if I'm not published/if I've not finished anything/if I've not started anything/if for some other reason I've decided I'm not a real writer/if I'm not actually going to be writing but you guys seem like my People?)
Yes! Of COURSE.

I can't make these times, can you do any others?
We'd welcome more hosts! Get in touch to start a session of your own.
