ABOUT BRISTOL NOVELISTS
Welcome. Bristol Novelists Writing Group meets weekly to critique and support each other as we work on our manuscripts in preparation for publication. Membership is by invitation.
Our writing has been published on radio and television and in the national press, and we have a number of competition and award wins under our belts.
We have widely differing voices and write in a variety of genres, including thriller, satire and literary fiction. Our diversity is our strength, with each writer bringing a unique insight to our discussions. Every week one member submits a sample of work for discussion; everyone reads it and prepares comments in readiness for our meeting. Whether it’s plot, character, tone, or pace and presentation, all the many aspects of novel writing are covered, and the work that emerges from this process has been road-tested rigorously and honestly.
You can find out more about us as individuals on the writers page above.
