Writers' Groups
Many, many years ago I used to belong to a group of
writers that met in Rotherham Library. I soon realised that, rather than promoting writing and
writers, the group was more about the formation of little, acid cliques and acrimonious
wrangling between individuals. Perhaps things are a bit more civilized nowadays. These are the
writer's groups that I have found meeting in the Rotherham area in 2005. If you belong to
another group please let me have details.
