BRENTWOOD WRITERS' CIRCLE

As most people know, Brentwood Writers' Circle members will be celebrating their 70th birthday on l May. This well known group has enjoyed tremendous writing success within its membership of around 60 men and women of all ages. We are preparing an anthology which will be ready at the time of our special anniversary with some pretty fabulous photographs. This 1946 image shows our founder Elizabeth Baxter (right hand front row) with the famous author of the time, Ruby Ayres, who was guest speaker (end of the row) and other members. Will dig out some other post-war photos when I get time. Keep an eye on this blog!

WRITING POW WOW IN BRENTWOOD

BRENTWOOD WRITERS’ CIRCLE

The team from BWC who organised Saturday’s Writers’ Day in Brentwood had every right to celebrate their success in putting on an extra special annual event on June 12. Many of the delegates were members of the Society of Women Writers & Journalists. It was an action-packed day with a good programme and food and our guest speaker, Judith Spelman was fascinating. She is pictured centre between authors Elizabeth Lord and Frances Clamp, A top journalist and interviewer, who seems to have met everyone in the fast moving world of up-to-the-minute writing, Judith has been a columnist with Writing Magazine since its creation and has worked for many other international journals. She is also an author of several books. She was certainly on top form at Brentwood on Saturday, providing her audience with a truly inspirational day – then back on the M25, and home to Dorset. www.judithspelman.co.uk
