The Tuesday Evening Workshop

Next Workshop: Tuesday, 13 January 2026

Our workshop runs twice a month on Tuesday evenings via Zoom, from 7 to 9 pm (UK Time).

• Format: We workshop up to eight pieces of writing per session, with about fifteen writers usually present.
• Reading & Feedback: Each writer is allowed seven minutes to read their work, followed by up to seven minutes of constructive feedback from the group.
• Focus: We focus exclusively on work in progress (first drafts or tenth drafts) to ensure all listeners can provide valuable feedback and engage effectively. We do not workshop published work.

We welcome new attendees! If you’re just starting out or don’t have anything to share yet, we encourage you to join a session to experience the evening and gain motivation from hearing how others achieve their writing goals.

The Peerclass

Peerclass is a fresh, grassroots take on the traditional writing masterclass, run by The Original Writers of London. The format is simple: we learn by doing, with members taking turns to lead classes and sharing their knowledge with their peers. Join for the wisdom, stay for the craic!
