Northants Writers’ Ink is a creative writing group based in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. We meet approximately every three weeks on a Monday evening in the Friends’ Meeting House, St. John’s Street, Wellingborough, NN8 4LG. Meetings begin at 7pm and usually finish by 10pm. For the time being, members bring their own refreshments but this will be subject to review in the future in line with the Friends’ Meeting House policies. If you are a writer who would like to join Northants Writers’ Ink, please contact us by email in the first instance for further details about how to apply to join. Initial meetings are free so potential members can meet the group and experience a meeting in advance of joining. Meeting fees are currently £3.00 which can be paid on the night or £45.00 for the whole year. Street parking is available outside the venue or a short walk away in the Jackson Lane free car park on the opposite side of the High Street. We welcome writers with enthusiasm and commitment who are able to contribute to the group through their writing and their support for fellow members. Group meetings are inspiring and challenging and include either workshops on relevant aspects of writing or the presentation of pieces written by members in response to challenges. These challenges are set by individual members and may be based on a workshop, thus ensuring ongoing development of writing skills. Presenting your piece out loud to the group and receiving constructive feedback also provides valuable experience for members. Our aim is to support the development of our members, individually and with our group projects, such as the anthologies of our collected short stories which are published and can be purchased on the shop page. We organise an ambitious programme of talks and events as well as two writing competitions each year.   We average about ten members at each meeting, offering a wide range of life and writing experience. Because the group is open to tackling adult themes, membership is for over 18s only. The group offers an exciting calendar of events. Go the meetings page to see the 2022 calendar.
