The T Party Writers' Group
Around the year 1990, I was a member of a writing group based in Beckenham, Kent. The group folded, but I stayed in contact with a few of its members, including Carole Tyrrell and D F Lewis. One evening - it was somewhere towards the end of 1993 - the three of us were sitting (all of us in an advanced state of inebriation) in a pub together and somebody said "Let's start up another writing group." And we all got very excited.
In the cold, sober light of day the concept still seemed quite a good idea, and The T Party was born. Our first meeting was in January 1994, in my little flat in Surrey. There was only the three of us for the first few months, but after a while, other people started hearing about us, and they started to join.
The T Party has gone from strength to strength. Specialising in sci fi, fantasy and horror fiction, we now have nearly 30 active members including published and agented writers.
Our members include:
Helen Callaghan
Aliette de Bodard
Sarah Ellender
Melanie Garrett
David Gullen
Julia Knight
Martin Owton
Gaie Sebold
