2025 has begun for the Scarborough Writers’ Circle. The first meeting was well attended by members who discussed their ‘writing selves’. Members and a guest thought about and shared the ‘who, what, why, where, when, and how’ of their writing and methods. The aim was to understand their own writing better and learn from others. Judy Woodroffe announced the Arthur Hastings members’ short story competition with the theme of The Shipping Forecast.

The next meeting is on Tuesday, February 11^th at Newby Library, 7.00 pm for 7.15 pm start. Our guest speaker will be well-known local writer Bill Kitson, who will lead a session on crime writing.  Non-members are very welcome to attend – Cost £4.
