    To Be… To Become is the theme of the 2018 Waterloo Festival Writing Competition. It is also the title of the e-book, which contains the sixteen winning entries. Some fantastic writing was offered and all of it was potentially publishable. We chose these because they told a good story, had a strong voice and were imaginative in their interpretation of the theme. Entrants were asked to produce a short story or a monologue. Style was diverse and each story is completely different from the others. find our copy here "Transforming Being" is the theme of the 2019 Waterloo Festival Writing Competition.

  This anthology of women's fiction, this collection of very short stories, some might say a flash collection, is thought-provoking and each story is based upon a tweet. Except that each piece is 140 words long and not 140 characters. They were collected over three years and edited for another nine months.   A collection of very short stories to suit every mood.

  There are three prompts a day for the whole of 2023. Some are short and pithy, others are inspired by obscure days e.g. 8 January Bubble Bath Day , and some go into more detail on an aspect of writing craft. There are series that go over a number of days. A few prompts are about works in progress and several give you the choice of working with a text you have already created, creating something new or even editing a completed piece of work. But every prompt gives you the opportunity to write something as well. These prompts were put together by writers published by the Bridge House, CaféLit and Chapeltown imprints, and their friends. Happy writing!     What shall I do with my Creative Writing group? Here are a list of suggestions based on what you might do over a year, whether   you meet once a week or once a month. Each suggested session plan allows you to plan an interesting session with your group, and suggests what to do in the session, what yo...
