Writers' Group
The Writers' Group is open to people who enjoy writing and those who think they might like to write. Some members write for a living, others enjoy doing it as a hobby. Writing styles and aims vary, from short stories, flash fiction, poetry and novels through to non-fiction, film scripts, magazine articles, social media posts and more. Discussing and sharing ideas is helpful and inspiring for everyone.
We meet for a couple of hours on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm, at the Lansdowne Hotel in Calne.
We organise meet ups via our Facebook page and are always keen to welcome new members so please feel free to join us! If you're not on Facebook please email us at Calne Wordfest to find out more and get involved. We look forward to meeting you and hearing your ideas!
Not Just Oxygen: A Second Calne Wordfest Writers' Group Anthology
​
Published September 2024
​
The first one was so much fun! We did it again!
A collection of writings about or inspired by the 250th celebration of the discovery of Oxygen in Calne by Joseph Priestley in August 1774.
​
Some of the writings are factual, some are imaginative. The collection includes work submitted by children in local schools as part of the celebrations.
The celebratory events included a wide range of activities through 2024.
