SAVE AS
Writers' Group is a well established group of writers in Canterbury. The group is
chaired by founder member and Canterbury Writer's Poetry
Prize winner, Luigi Marchini and has a
fluid membership of 40 people of all ages who are serious about writing..
The members have met regularly at the University of Kent at
Canterbury campus since 2001 and the group now has a wider network of connections with many other writing and poetry
groups, literary events locally and in London and many members
have had work published. The workshopping meetings give members a chance to read their prose and
poetry within a supportive group, and to
receive constructive criticism from other writers.
Membership
is free and open to all local writers whether they're just starting out
or are already established. To find out more about
becoming involved please email saveas@hotmail.co.uk
BETWEEN THE LINES
The Readings
April saw the launch of the first SaveAs Anthology at a successful event at Faversham Library attended by an appreciative audience of fellow writers, family and friends. There were readings from many of the writers whose works appear in the Anthology. There was an open mic session and a chance to do some new writing during an exercise organised by Gary.
May 13 saw a follow-up reading session as the University of Kent.
June 16 will see the next reading being hosted at Deal Library @7pm.
Thanks to the organisers and especially to
Luigi Marchini who works tirelessly to think of new ways to promote the quality work that comes from SaveAs writers (as well as regularly providing snacky incentives at workshops to keep the energy flowing)!
