Welcome to our KidsLit Group

Are you interested in writing for children or teenagers? KidsLit was formed in 2020 by members of Watford Writers, to support writers with an interest in writing for children of any age.


Everyone is welcome to join the group, whatever experience you have. We will ensure that you are encouraged and supported with your writing.
 

NEXT MEETING: Thursday 13 April 2023, 7:30pm via Zoom (Online), for further info on how to join please email: watfordwriters@gmail.com  This is a special, The Elephant Who Went to the Moon evening. We will be reading our stories/competition entries aloud to the group

About our KidsLit Group

Our Aim

The group focuses on members' writing and provides positive and developmental critiques. The group is a mutually supportive group whose primary aim is to improve the quality of all our work with helpful comments and useful feedback.

 

How our meetings work

Work is shared before each meeting by the group members chosen to have their work critiqued. Other group members will then have a chance to read the work beforehand and prepare their comments to be given at the meeting.

Some of our authors are writing for very young children whereas others are focussing on older children and teenagers.

 

Themes

We look at a variety of themes to help develop ideas from start to finish and focus on specific areas that group members need assistance with e.g. the development of endings for children's stories etc.

 

Special Note

We are looking for potential publishers and are interested in contacting illustrators. Please do let us know if you have contacts in these fields?


Meetings

Thursday (fortnightly) 7:30pm to 9:00pm, via Zoom (Online). The host of the group is rotated and ensures agendas and notes are circulated before and after the meetings.

> 30 March 2023
