Have you ever had your friends roll their eyes at you when you (again) wanted to discuss why a book ended the way it did or why it was written in such an odd way? Would you like to be moved out of you comfort zone and read books you would never have picked off the shelf yourself? Do you like to meet new people and chat for ages over a cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon? If you can answer yes to all of these questions, you should join this book club! The books we read will be determined by proposit …

The heart of this project is a focus on the importance of fairy tales as a creative force both in literature and culture. Literary fairy tales can be seen, in terms of genre, to mediate between, on the one hand, folktales, from which they often derive both form and content; and on the other, the more elaborate narratives of full-blown fantasy novels. The Centre will provide a forum where writers and scholars from various disciplines can discuss folk narratives, fairy tales and fantasy works, bot …

I appreciate that the following blurb is quite lengthy/detailed, however it is imperative for all members to read ahead of deciding whether they wish to join the group, and if the group and the way the group is run suits their own personal preferences. Please make sure you read all of it as certain individuals have claimed to do so, yet have then unfortunately later been deleted from the group (usually shortly after they join the group) as it has become apparent that they did not read/take on bo …
Guided walks through central London, starting and ending at a pub. See where authors painters and musicians lived and worked. Wednesday evenings after work. There are no events during the months October to March.
Sharing the Solitude of Writing This group was inspired by the London Writing Together group and is for people in or near Brighton who write or who seriously want to. The format is simple: a host organises a session anywhere comfortable, e.g. in a café or peaceful pub, in their lounge, or maybe in a random nearby village. We then write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. We work on our own and set our own targets. What you write is up to you. The whole point is: you are not alone in the creative proce …

The London Literary Salon draws on the Salon tradition of a regular meeting of a committed group of people for the exchange and exploration of ideas. The London Literary Salon (and its Paris counterpart) use the study of a great work of literature as a springboard to consider the wonder of the human experience–in all its raw and dynamic forms. The discussion resembles a seminar style study, but the emphasis is on what each participant brings to the conversation. The works of Joyce and Shakespear …
The Women Writing Women Book Group will meet once a month in Central London to discuss novels written by women about women, the clue is kind of in the name! We are open to men and women who are interested in lively literary debate, want to meet some new interesting people and have some fun. We aim to read anything written by a female author across any literary period, but hope to focus on slightly less well known works: more along the lines of the Virago list than Jane Austen's output. While we …

In 2012 I organised a meetup group called Dickens in London, inspired by the great novelist's bi-centenary and to take advantage of the many events that commemorated this. Victorian London is intended to extend this thread. It is a group for anyone who wants to explore Victorian London. We will visit historical buildings , museums, exhibitions and go on Victorian literary and historical walks. Possibilities include the Cummings Museum in Southwark, the newly refurbished Dickens Museum, a history …

This is an opportunity for London writers (novelists, poets, Orwellian journalists) to get together in conducive surroundings to have a drink and to discuss plots, characters, literary techniques, writing styles and methods, and to discuss the styles and writings of novelists we love. As members get to know each other, if they want to share drafts or excerpts of what they're writing that would be great too - hence the title draft soc. With a relaxed setting and a friendly group of people I'm hop …
