The Verulam Writers' Circle was founded more than forty years ago as a forum for writers to meet to discuss matters of common interest and to learn from each other. We include among our membership writers of both fiction and non-fiction, ranging from experienced professionals to hopeful beginners. We meet on alternate Wednesdays at 8pm, from September to July in St. Michael's Parish Hall, St Albans.
Visitors are welcome at all meetings.
An important feature of our programme is regular manuscript evenings, when members read out their work for comment and criticism. We pride ourselves on making our comments both constructive and courteous. Anybody of a nervous disposition can have their work read out by another member. Recent speakers have included Joyce Hopkirk, editor and novelist, and Simon Brett, TV and radio scriptwriter. Clare Rayner is comimg soon.
