Writing Groups

Writing Groups at Queen's

There are many ways to get involved with writing at Queen's. Even if you aren't a student, you can join some of our writing groups like Write Night or the Wednesday poetry workshop. 

The Wednesday Poetry Workshop

The Lemon Experiment
The Friday Poetry Workshop

The Lemon Experiment is poetry workshop for postgrad students in the SHC seminar room every Friday afternoon. To join, contact thelemonexperimentpoetry@gmail.com

Write Night *currently on hold*

Write Night brings together writers of any genre to write quietly together. It is a space for first drafts and final edits, and a time dedicated to your writing each week. Find out more...

QUB Scribblers (Queen's Writers' Society)

Open to all students from any course, at Queen's University Belfast. The Scribblers offer a warm community, regular workshops, and other events. Find out more here.

The Wednesday Group

The Wednesday Group is a poetry workshop group, started by our founding director Ciaran Carson. Since Ciaran's death in 2019, they have continued to meet, beginning the session with one of his poems, before sharing their own work. 

The Group has recently begun meeting online in weekly Zoom calls, hosted and chaired by poet and PhD candidate Andrew Rahal, with some guest tutors dropping in during the course of the year. The group is keen to welcome new members to join in their weekly discussions. To find out more, contact shc@qub.ac.uk
