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! Because of high numbers, we are not currently admitting new members. If you would like to go on the waiting list, please send us your contact information on the “Join Us” form and we will get back to you when a space becomes available.

Submit a story

If you would like to send us a story, poem or piece of memoir, please use the address below. Contributions may be published in future anthologies.
