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.
The Dressmaker’s Secret
A Halloween Nightmare!
Another anthology to feature a story from WW member John Hoggard, the 'highly commended' "Headhunted".
Creative Writing Escapes
WW member Charlotte Betts and former member Danielle Auld have something wonderful to offer you.
Cleared for launch!
Elite Encounters is a Role-Playing Game set in the Elite: Dangerous Universe and is the work of David 'Selezen Lake' Hughes. It features drabbles from John Hoggard.
How to survive a critique
WordWatchers is reviewing one full novel a month. By the end of 2017, it will have critiqued 7 novels. 5yrs after she wrote it, Abbie's blog about the process is still very relevant.
