Creating Connection By Hosting Writing Groups

Better Together

We provide prompts and then we write freely without judging ourselves. Then we read out what we’ve written (unless we really don’t want to). We only give positive feedback and we all agree to keep things confidential.

Creative Community

If you want you can work on your piece at home and later we can publish it on this website if you would like. But only up to 500 words.

Writing is a wonderful way to express your emotions, memories, and what’s in your heart, or perhaps in your head. At our writing group in Montville, we come without judgment, to have a go, write from a prompt, or topic and read around the group our responses and ideas. We nurture each other, we care about language, and offer one another encouragement.

Thank you, Stephanie, who has organised our group of keen participants with focused notes and wisdom.

I have been attending Stephanie Chambers writing group. I started with very little experience and a lack of confidence. I have grown a lot since joining the group. I give all topic a go and surprise myself. Stephanie is encouraging and runs the group with a very caring and graceful heart. Stephanie and the other members are wise woman and very gifted.

This wonderful group of intelligent women meet weekly to challenge ourselves and our writing, share our experiences in a supportive and friendly way and always leave with something new to think about or take courageous action on. Stephanie’s writing challenges are often fun and sometimes serious. We have written poetry, stage play scripts and memoir. We have had our emotions challenged and comedy encouraged. Overall it is a very enjoyable 2 hours to positively start the week. Thank you Stephanie. Highly recommend.

I’m forever grateful for the day that Stephanie invited me to join her wonderful writing group, aptly named, ‘Write. Share. Care.’ Stephanie is an excellent facilitator as are the other members who step in when she’s away. As an inexperienced writer, I’ve especially loved the offering of interesting and at times challenging prompts each week, because they’ve helped me improve my writing. Along with fiction writing prompts, I’ve really enjoyed trying other forms of writing including non-fiction, screenwriting and comedy. Our group members are extremely supportive and offer helpful feedback. I’m now writing regularly and slowly building my confidence and it’s all thanks to our wonderful group of talented writers.
