Society of Authors — local groups

Hybrid · England, United Kingdom

The Society of Authors is a union first, but its local groups are genuine writing communities: published authors meeting in pubs, libraries and Zoom rooms to talk contracts, craft and the peculiar loneliness of the job. Membership is for professional writers; the groups are the human bit.
