Edinburgh Writers' Club

Welcome to the website of the Edinburgh Writers' Club. We are a community of writers in the Edinburgh area and beyond, with an annual programme of competitions, workshops and expert speakers.  Our 2020-21 programme starts on 14 September.

The Club meets in the Grosvenor Hotel near Haymarket. During the restrictions on social distancing we shall have meetings using Zoom technology.

• Sixteen meetings per year, with a varied programme of speakers covering all genres of writing.
• Membership of and access to the Scottish Association of Writers (SAW) conferences and competitions.
• Entry into club competitions. Competitions are judged by established writers who provide feedback on entries.
• Opportunity to meet fellow writers and share your work, your challenges and your successes.
• Access to any discounts the club has negotiated for members.
• Social events.
•  Regular updates about competitions, publishing opportunities and events.

New members describe the club as 'pragmatic, helpful, friendly, involving, cheerful, wide-ranging, for beginners as well as published writers, informative, non-threatening.'
