About

The Octagon Tower of Ely Cathedral set against a blue sky with a single white wispy cloud. The white text 'Ely Writers' in the Give You Glory font is to the right of the tower.

Ely Writers is a group of writers from the Ely district of Cambridgeshire and the surrounding areas and who meet regularly in Ely.

We don’t profess to be experts in writing, but we are learning with every month that passes.

Purpose

We aim to support each other during the writing process. We do this by:

  • being a safe place to read our work out loud, even if it’s first draft. Any criticism given must be solicited, relevant, constructive and politely given. Find out more
  • being a sounding board for ideas
  • motivating each other when we lose focus and willing
  • sharing writing tips we’ve learnt ourselves and come across elsewhere
  • being respectful, polite and not self-publicising. Find out more.

Where to find us

We’re here at elywriters.pandammonium.org of course, but check out our contact page to see where else we are and how to get in touch, or find us in person at one of our meetings.

Hope to see you soon!
