OUR AIMS

Calling all poets, journalists, short story writers, novelists and other scribblers.

Writing need not be lonely!

Harrow Writers' Circle welcomes new members. Founded over fifty years ago we're still going strong. The membership ranges from published authors to absolute beginners with every degree of experience in between, and all age groups.

At our friendly meetings members read out their work for constructive criticism and marketing suggestions. Our aim is to encourage and support each other.

In addition to General Manuscript evenings we have (informal) competitions and the occasional speaker.

Visit Harrow Writers' Circle and see and hear for yourself.
