Writers

Welcome to the Rugby Cafe Writers. We are a friendly group of budding and experienced writers who meet in Rugby every fortnight and share our love of books and writing. We also have a spin-off group which gives authors a chance to get feedback on their works-in-progress. We publish our own anthologies and so far have nine books for sale!

Critique Group

If you have written something and would like feedback, you might be interested in joining our Critique Group. This meets monthly. You would be expected to fully participate in the group and offer your view on the writing of others as well.
