This is the podcast channel for the Runaway Writers in Burton Upon Trent.
Runaway Writers - What we do
We should be clear from the start, there is no physical running involved in Runaway Writers, only the metaphorical sort.
What we do in our meetings is encourage writers to write by sharing successes, setting writing exercises and giving feedback on members’ work. We also bring in outside writers to give workshops several times a year and work in the community to encourage others to write.
