Our first Talking About Writing meet up was attended by a nonfiction essayist and blogger, two playwright/novelists, an actor/screen writer, with other interesting cafe residents – an actor and copywriter popping in. Our talk ranged across a number of topics including the importance of genuine for feedback/support, how to tell a good story, how to marry literary techniques with nonfiction writing. It was a very affirming and stimulating couple of hours with lots of sharing of interesting digital and literary information.

Hope to see you at the next Talking About Writing session soon! Join our Meet Up group here.
