On behalf of City Voices Creative Writers Group I wish everyone a peaceful and happy Christmas, whatever name you choose for this time of year, whatever your celebrations, religious or secular. Today, 13th December as I write is St Lucy's Day celebrated in many Scandinavian countries and under the "old" calendar was also the winter Solstice. The world at the moment seems like a very confused and divided place, but the year will turn and the lighter days appear. It has also been a tough year for some of our members and friends of the group. I wish everyone a bright 2019 in every way. Please keep on writing, and let your light shine. June - Web-site manager
Welcome to City Voices! We are an eclectic and inclusive creative writing group based in Stoke on Trent. Our fortnightly meetings are in Hanley Library (1st floor) from 11.40am - 13.40am. A full list of dates is in the menu. In 2016 we celebrated our 10th anniversary and we are looking for new members and contributors who love to write. The group is informal and friendly; many of our members are published authors, playwrights and poets, and since 2015 we have published our own anthology each year. If you love to write only for fun, well that's just fine! If you want to see a taste of what we are up to as a group and as individuals, please have a look at our Blog
There is a membership fee of £20 per year (£10 for full-time students) which covers the group's expenses (web-site fees, competition prizes, expenses for guest speakers etc) City Voices is a non-profit making, community group and our aim is to develop your writing skills, build confidence, try new ideas and have fun!
