On the 14th May SWC member Sam Sherwood presented some technical ways that writers can create fear in their stories, especially when writing for the horror genre. Group members shared anecdotes about their scariest memories, and practiced creating short “seditiously wrong” phrases & isolated locations that might work well for a creepy tale. Members were also invited to submit their own scary stories for publication on an upcoming YouTube channel.

The next meeting will be on the 11th June, 7pm for a 7:15 start. The session will be the reading of entries to the ‘Nikki Barker Shield’ competition and the presentation of the trophy. Non members are very welcome (over 18’s only). Cost of session £4 and £1 to the library for tea/coffee at the break if wanted.
