Monthly silent writing session at the independent bookshop on Holywell Hill, with a first coffee or tea included.
Books on the Hill opens at 6am on Wednesday 2 December for the 6AM Writing Club, a silent morning session that runs for four hours while the sun comes up. It's a monthly thing, with the shop opening its doors on the first Wednesday of every month to local writers who want to work alongside each other before the rest of the day gets underway.
There's no workshop, no critique, and no group sharing. You won't be asked to read your work aloud or take feedback from the room. It's just the quiet motivation of a room full of people writing while the world is still half-asleep. If you're the kind of person who finds it easier to get words down when you're not the only one doing it, this is exactly that: a few hours of solitary writing in company.
Your first coffee or pot of tea is included to ease you gently into the page. The organisers do give one fair warning, though: the building's old WiFi can be unreliable, so if you're working online, it's worth having a backup plan or a few offline pages ready to go.
