About The Writers Reading Book Club

We are a book club for writers. We meet each month to discuss a book we admire, focussing on the art and craft of writing. We explore how great writers tackle some of the challenges we grapple with in our writing practices. 

Some of us are published. Some of us are not, “yet.” We are all passionate about our craft and share a deep love of the written word and the life-affirming, transformative power it holds.

In our meetings in England, Mexico and India, we create a safe, inclusive and inspiring space in which writers can connect with other writers, develop their craft and confidence, and build community with writers all over the world.
