At the Circle meeting on 9th July 2024, Maggie Fawcett and Dorinda Cass talked about the wide-ranging markets available to writers wanting to submit their articles, reviews and short stories for publication.

Members and guests spoke about their journeys to publication. One member shared her knowledge of writing for agencies, something new to most of the group.

In the second half of the session, members read short pieces of their writing that reflected their own interests, varying in topic from a humorous complaint about the non-production of a favourite biscuit to a family story from World War One.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday 13th August 24, at Newby Library, Scalby Road, 7.15 start. The session will be led by poet and tutor Felix Hodcroft. Non-members are very welcome (Over 18s). Cost £4.00 (plus £1 to the library for refreshments).
