The life of a writer can be a lonely affair, but not anymore.

Starting a new chapter, and on a quest to bring local writers together, to support, inspire, share and learn, Inkpots Writers was launched earlier this year by local writer, Lisa aka ‘Toria’ Thompson (there’s a story behind the pen-name, but that’s one for another day).

From plotting to pantsing*, character development, structure or pacing, the job of writing is hard, really hard, and by its nature, rather solitary. But writers need colleagues as much as any other profession. And that’s where Inkpots comes in.
