Thank you for your interest in our group. We’re currently at capacity for members, so our submissions process is not open right now. This may change in future, and the information below gives you an insight into how our group works.
How the group works
- Key to our workshops is constructive criticism of pre-prepared work, identifying what works well and suggestions on how to build on this, as well as what doesn’t work and suggestions on how it might be strengthened.
- We meet every other Tuesday from 18:30 until 21:00.
- We are located around a 10 minute walk from Camden Town and Kentish Town underground station.
- At each meeting we discuss work from 2 members who submit a maximum of 5,000 words each.
- Work is circulated at least one week prior by email, allowing members to read in advance.
- Members use their workshop time in a way they find most helpful and our meetings usually involve a combination of individual feedback and group discussion.
Applying for membership
- CSFG has a quality criteria for membership, so we advise all applicants to submit your best work, not work in progress.
- You’ll need to submit around 5000 words. We currently do not accept poetry, script, or non-fiction (except memoir).
- After you submit your work to us, members will vote on whether they feel your submission meets the quality criteria for membership. We will normally let you know within a month. If you are successful, you will be invited to a trial meeting and with a view to becoming a fully fledged member of CSFG!
Please note, to cover the cost of room hire, refreshments and our website, we ask each member to contribute around £30 every six months.
