A Forum for Writers and Aspiring Writers

Saturday mornings 10 am - 1 pm
14 January, 11 February, 10 March, 14 April, 12 May, 9 June 2012
Cost: £6 per session

 During the 1920/30s the Left Bank in Paris became a mecca for writers such as Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Anais Nin, Jean Rhys,  Ford Maddox Ford and Henry Miller. Here amidst the warren of streets with their numerous bars, cafes and cheap apartments they could discuss, drink, gossip, inspire each other and of course write.

Left Bank at Harbour House is an attempt to create, in part, this informal atmosphere and creative ferment! The Saturday mornings will provide information, inspiration and the supportive company of other writers.

Aimed at a range of writers from those with several pieces of work already completed to those who only have dreams of beginning, the first few sessions will introduce strategies and issues likely to be of interest to any writer. Later sessions will be developed out of the stated needs and aspirations of the group but might include news, sessions with established authors and critiques on work in progress.

 There will be plenty of time given over to discussion, debate and question and answer sessions and there will always be a space in which to just write!

The excellent café at Harbour House will be available to fuel all this activity!
