WRITERS’ CORNER

What Previous Writers Say….

“Thank you for keeping me motivated!”

“I find the debriefs really helpful in setting my goals for the month ahead and just celebrating the work achieved.”

“I hadn’t thought about competitions before, but now I’m actively looking for them and working towards them!”

Writing is a solitary endeavour and requires tremendous self-motivation and courage, but daily life often gets in way. Accessing a dedicated space to write (that isn’t the kitchen or free-seat in the cafe) can be a blocker. So too, can carving out time in your diary to write. The confidence to step into your work and take your place as a writer, is another. Then there’s momentum, the challenge of building progress over time. And the elephant in the room—  writing alone.  

Determined to support writers in our community, Accidental have created the Writers’ Corner. Once a month (every first Sunday of the month) from 12-3pm, the Book Bar will be transformed into a Writers’ Corner where writers come together to write. Tucked into a cosy corner, writers might sketch out a scene, edit a chapter, plot the next novel, novella or stage play, or reflect upon work-in-progress.

The Writers’ Corner is designed to tackle these challenges by offering more than just a dedicated writing space. It's an opportunity to write alongside others, build regular writing time into your month, and make meaningful progress on your novel, play, short story or experimental work. At the end of each session, there is an opportunity to reflect on what you've achieved, share your progress if you'd like to, and set intentions for the month ahead. With structure, space and a sense of community, writing becomes that little bit easier.

We excited to welcome writers at every stage of their journey, from those putting pen to paper for the first time to experienced and published writers. Whether you're putting the finishing touches to a manuscript, starting a brand-new project, or finding your way somewhere in between, you'll find a place here.  

We’re currently on our Summer Hiatus, but we’ll be back in September as those longer evenings close in, so keep a look out on our website and socials!
