September Book Club/Writing Group Ticket

Our monthly book club and writing group will be on the following dates:

You are welcome to come to both the writing group and book club or one or the other. Please don't be put off coming if you didn't finish the book, you can still join in the discussion or listen to others chat about it. 

We meet at 6:30 - 7:30 for a guided writing session with prompts, suitable for all levels of experience, you can use the time to work on an existing project or try something new. 

We then take a short 5-10 minute break before chatting about that month's book. The conversation is informal and everyone's perspective is welcome but the conversation will be guided, so that everyone has a chance to speak if they want to. There will be questions and prompts to get the conversation going if people are feeling stuck.

At the end of each session, we offer three books to choose from and those attending vote on our next month's book. We try to alternate between fiction and non-fiction so we keep our scope quite broad. 

If you want to join our whatsapp group, send us an email greyareabooks@gmail.com or DM us on instagram @greyareabooks, you will be the first to hear about our upcoming events. 

In collaboration with the Yuki Kihara exhibition coming to The Whitworth in October, we have created a reading list of related books to choose from. The book club will then meet to discuss their individual readings and talk around the topics brought up by the exhibition. The reading list will be linked on our Instagram account. 

The writing group for September will be reflective of the readings and involve collage or journalling in response to what we have learned.
