Welcome to Quaker Writers, the new Friend adventure - preview
It's now official – The Friend has launched a Quaker Writers' Group
  • After Ian J Prior wrote in the magazine (29 July) that he needed support when working creatively, other Quaker writers responded
  • We gave them an experimental group email to talk to each other


  • Not all writers need support
  • Some would say that writers should not be seeking 'comfort zones' because the creative impulse is born out of discomfort
  • But it can be a lonely pursuit and a wave of recognition from a passing kindred soul can make all the difference, and a sharing of experience may lead to improved technique

  • This is a preview of the full article - to see the whole thing, or to post a comment you need to login, or alternatively you could try a free sample!
