Welcome fellow writer,

We’re a bunch of cutting-edge literary artists tortured by our own genius, who meet once a month to help keep the madness at bay.

We have found that writing together can lead to the most wondrous bursts of inspiration. Just being in a room filled with other writers sharing thoughts and ideas, exchanging writing tips and techniques, can be an incredibly gratifying experience.

Most of us met through the worldwide writing marathon Nanowrimo, when thousands of writers around the world attempt to write a 50.000 word novel during the 30 days of November.

This is, of course, by no means a criteria to join our group.  Anybody is welcome!  :-)  It simply means that, from September onwards, our group activities will tend  to focus on preparing for Nanowrimo in November.

Though some of us have reached the stage where we are seriously contemplating publication, many of us still write just for fun.  You'll find, therefore, that our sessions will lean towards the creative process of writing, rather than the more analytical editing stage. 

However, since editing and reviewing is all part of the writing process, we will hold a review hour every other month, to devote to members who have a piece of writing to share and would like feedback on.  

To help make sure this review hour remains a pleasant experience for everyone, please read our "Writing submissions" section for a summary of tips and guidelines.

When and where

We meet every last Sunday of the month at the ABC Treehut in the Hague.  The ABC Treehut is located in the  American Book Center, a bookstore in the city centre of the Hague, specialising in English language books. 

This location gives us access to a secluded space where we can immerse ourselves in writing discussions and activities to our heart's content.  

Contribution fee

 As of the 1st of January 2009, we will be charging a small contribution fee to cover the costs for rent and consumptions.  

The contribution fee is:  €5 per person (per session)

New members
