Welcome to Falkirk Writers' Circle

Falkirk Writers' Circle is an association of writers for the common benefit of all and the encouragement of writing in all its branches. Falkirk Writers' Circle is a self-financing group, independent of any other organisation and is non-party and non-sectarian. If you enjoy writing, this is an opportunity to meet other writers to discuss and share your interest.

What does Falkirk Writers' Circle do?

1. We aim to celebrate the best of modern writing, encouraging the highest possible standards of excellence in presentation, use of language and breadth of ideas. Falkirk Writers' Circle also encourages the best of its amateur writers to submit for publication.
2. We may employ a professional tutor to give lectures, advise and set assignments up to six evenings in the year;
3. We organise challenges and competitions with other writing clubs and circulate information on national writing competitions;
4. We distribute information of use to writers: web addresses, publishing outlets, "how to" notes, etc.;
5. We offer a mutually supportive, positive critique of members' current writing;
6. We organise occasional speakers and workshops on the art of writing;
7. We organise regular social functions with a literature or writing theme.
