At most meetings of the Rugby Cafe Writers, we have a writing challenge. Members are invited to submit (or read out) a contribution of up to 400 words on a chosen theme. The reason for the word limit is to allow everyone present the time to read out their work. If you can’t make it to one of our meetings, you are welcome to submit a piece to us. Your work may be published in one of our anthologies and we will let you know if we have chosen it. There are no costs involved in this to you.
This is our plan for forthcoming meetings:
March 14th 2025 – How to self-publish your book (this is a discussion not a writing challenge)
March 28th – Things which irritate us. Write 400 words on one thing which irritates you.
April 11th – Why I love books. Write 400 words on why you love books, or your memories of childhood reading.
April 25th – The process of writing (this is a discussion on how we write, where we write, what helps us and so on. It is not a writing challenge)
May 9th – A fake obituary. Write 400 words of an obituary for a character you have made up.
Further writing themes will be posted here.
