Writing in Oxford?
Just a quick note: I’m starting an Oxford writers group.
My idea is that participants will be able to upload their work to a closed online space, so that it can be read and commented on in a more natural reading environment. Of course, if people want, they can also read their work aloud at meetings, which will be held regularly. If it works, I’ll expand the infrastructure so it can be used by local writers groups elsewhere.
The preliminary meeting, which will help determine the size and scope of the group, will take place this Wednesday, September 30th, at the Gardener’s Arms pub on Plantation Road in Oxford at 8pm. See you there?
Sadly, have an evening class on Wednesdays.
Can’t make the first meeting, but definitely something I might be interested in. Can you keep me posted of developments…?
I can’t make the first meeting, but I am definitely interested, so keep us posted!
Sounds good. Do you know numbers likely to attend tonight?
I will be coming, will you be in any particular part of the GA?
Can you post an update telling us how it went? I’m v.interested but my evening class has many weeks left to run
came across this by accident, but as a writer in oxford I would be keen to follow it up
I’m a locally based author, journalist and once published novelist and would be interested in hearing more.
Hi Ben,
I am interested in this. Are you still meeting & if so when? Who are your members? I was a journalist for 10 years & am currently writing a series of children’s books. Sue
Hi Ben,
How is this going? I am very interested in joining. Would it be possible to have some more information and maybe come along to the next meeting?

When’s your next meet, and may I attend?
Hello I live just round the corner from the Gardeners Arms and I am very interested in what you are setting up. Did it take off and is it still going?
HI I would be interested in joining -is this group still going strong?
If people are still around, do come along to The Albion Beatnik Bookstore on Walton St on March 24th at 6pm for a readings and music night:

The Albion Beatnik is also a great place for a writers’ group to meet
Is this writers’ group still happening? Any playwrights?

Giants in the Earth
By Nick Wood & Matt Marks
Oxfordshire Theatre Company are holding rehearsed reading of their brand new musical Giants in The Earth by Nick Woods & Matt Marks on the 7th Oct 2010 at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. It offers a unique opportunity to view an entirely original piece of musical theatre writing in development. This rehearsed reading will include music from the original score performed by established and up and coming West End performers, and offers the opportunity to be involved in an
audience consultation with the writer, composer and director. We’d love to hear what you’d think!
