Monday: Stories

There is great joy in reading a story. You can get lost in it and escape into a new and exciting world. Thanet Writers will be publishing a short story each Monday, written by local people with a strong link to the area.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: Essays

Writers learn from success, mistakes, and the support of others. Everyone needs a little help sometimes, whether it be creating realistic characters, building tension, understanding story arcs or simple motivation. These essays, written by writers for writers, are to help support all of us.
