Reading/Writing South West
We’re a friendly community of book lovers (reading or writing them!) meeting regularly at the Portishead Library. Whether you're a budding author, a seasoned writer, or someone who simply loves curling up with a good book, we have something for you.
What We Offer:
- Portishead Writers' Group: this group is perfect for writers of all levels and genres. Share your work, receive constructive feedback, and gain inspiration and support from fellow writers.
- Bring Your Own Book Reading Group: A relaxed hour for readers to come together, share thoughts on what they’re currently reading, and discover new literary treasures. Everyone is welcome, whether you're reading a gripping thriller, a classic novel, the washing machine instructions or anything in between. This differs from ordinary reading groups in that there is no set book, so you're not stuck trying to finish a book that you don't like, there's no time pressure - whether you struggle to find time to read, or your preference is a big chunky book with a thousand pages, take as long as you like to read; you don't need to finish it in a month.
We aim to foster creativity, connection, and a love for the written word in all its forms. Our events are informal and welcoming – perfect for making new friends and developing your craft or passion for books.
