WordWatchers
Serious About Writing
Supporting Berkshire writers since 2001
WordWatchers is a small group of writers based in West Berkshire whose purpose is to help writers achieve their goals. Some of us are published. Some of us have agents. And some of us are working towards that first success - however we define it.
We write in a variety of genres, from children's to romantic historical fiction to crime. What we have in common is our passion and dedication to writing, meeting up each month to share what we’ve done, discuss what’s worked and what hasn’t, and make our promises for the month ahead.
And eat cake.

WordWatchers releases its first ever book
In October 2012 a WordWatchers member casually suggested that we should put together a book of our own, an anthology, drawn from our archive of short story competitions from members current and past.
After several meetings and much cake a collection of 11 stories was pulled together to form Out of Time and we're immensely proud of it.
