"The book takes you on a journey through the process of setting up a writers' circle from defining the market, writing a constitution, appointing officers and structuring meetings to liaising with festivals, setting up competitions and organizing writers' retreats. All you need to know is delivered in a logical and comprehensive fashion and the addition of Chairman's Challenges adds a personal and creative touch. The book includes a list of useful websites and addresses. If you are considering setting up a Writers' Circle or want to inject new life into an existing one, I strongly recommend this book." Julie Boden, Raw Edge Magazine, Spring/Summer 2006.

Based on the author's many years' experience as chairman of a writers' circle, this book will guide you through the process of running your own. It will help you decide how to structure your group, the meetings, where to advertise for members, run competitions, and even set up a website. Everything to get you up and running. And writing. For that is after all, the endgame. Running A Writers' Circle doesn't just end after the first meeting. There are long term goals and plans to be set, and you've got to keep your members coming back for more. And if you've been attending a local circle for some time and just found yourself elected as chair, then this book is for your too. Changes to the committee offer an opportunity to reinvigorate the membership - something that every writers' circle should undertake every few years in order to survive. Contents:
