Writers On The Heath

Writers On The Heath Writers group based in Haywards Heath, Mid Sussex. Meets on 3rd Friday each month at Haywards Heath Library. All levels of experience welcome!

Writers on the Heath

We are a group of practising writers who are looking to help each other find stories, develop characters and improve technique. All levels and all styles welcome. We want to put everyone on the path towards realising their potential and connecting with their audience. We are based in mid Sussex, halfway between London and Brighton. Our creative influences and ambitions extend

much more widely. We have musicians, poets and comedians in the group. Our experience ranges from flash fiction on the web to mainstream publishing. Our base is in the library in Haywards Heath, where we meet at 7:30 every third Thursday of the month. Just come in through the back door off Oaklands Road when you arrive. We also hold masterclasses with established writers and discussions with those in the business of creating platforms for writers. Or for more information, like our page or contact: [email protected]
