MEETINGS

2nd Saturday of the month

Our monthly meetings usually involve some reading, some discussion and some writing. Sometimes there is an opportunity to share what we've written (although sharing is not mandatory!) We have had a go at writing poems for adults and children, flash fiction, short stories and radio plays.

FEEDBACK

B12 & prose critique group

Members of Bilston Writers are invited to join a closed Facebook group ('Bilston Dozen', or B12) with monthly writing prompts, where they can write a poem or a piece of flash fiction on a different theme each month and give and receive feedback. A separate critique group for members who are writing longer stories and novels meets on Zoom every six weeks.
