Stirling Writers’ Group back in Action
Many people have been asking what happened to Stirling Writers, so it is with great pleasure that we can announce its return!
Charlie Gracie will be tutoring at the newly reformed Stirling Writers’ Group
for the next couple of weeks, starting on Tuesday, 18 October. The
group, still organised by Robert Ritchie, will be meeting in its new
home: the Burgh Coffee House in the city centre from 7pm.
Charlie writes:
It is through Stirling Writers’ Group that I developed confidence in my writing. This was mainly under the tutorship of Magi Gibson and, latterly, Chris Powici. Many people of note have passed through the group. I hope that this new start is a sign that the energy that made it the best group in the country (in many people’s view) is now reinfected.
Come along. Be part of Stirling Writers’ Group.

The last Forth Friday was jam packed - involving an inspiring discussion of performance poetry and poetry for the page, as well as chat about writing processes. We shared random funny anecdotes about eavesdropping "I tipped him!", and wrote and shared some prose and poetry too!
The next Forth Friday will take place on the 28th of October at 7pm in the Curly Coo in Stirling. We'll be inviting performances with a horror theme: short story-telling pieces, as well as poetry. Feel free to bring news and questions to share. We'll also discuss storytelling tips. We'll also be writing on the night using Halloween-themed prompts. Prizes on offer for the ones we love the most.
Costumes, of course, not optional.
