Manchester Writers
We're basically a "work-in-progress" group. The backbone of a Tuesday evening meeting is half a dozen people reading out what they've been working on, so that the rest of the group can comment, criticise and question. Then a different half a dozen the next week. Our focus is very much on getting published.
