If you've ever felt like you could write novels, poetry, comedy and more - then this podcast episode will inspire you to get your pen to paper!

Wolsey Writers is an independent creative writing group which meets at the New Wolsey Theatre on the first Saturday morning of the month. Their community includes novelists, scriptwriters, poets, storytellers, children’s literature, comedy, and nonfiction. They welcome writing in any genre, writers from diverse backgrounds and all levels of experience and aspirations – from haiku to blockbuster trilogy. The monthly meeting takes place in our beautiful upstairs New Wolsey Theatre Café & Bar where the group make the most of our locally ground coffee and delicious snacks – sometimes in noisy discussion, sometimes in mutual silence while they work.

Guest speakers:

• Katie Ward -  Leader and author of Pathways  
• Susannah Brindle - has a contemporary novel in progress.
• Helen Wright - stand-up comedy, doing open mics in the region.
• Roy Haddock - mature MA creative writing student and playwright.

Wolsey Writers meets on the first Saturday of the month, 10:30am-12pm, at New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich. Led by Katie Ward, an award-winning author from Suffolk, every session includes tips to improve your creative practice, focused writing time, peer support and inspiration.
