    You are probably better off posting in the Creative Writing forum.

    Hi Eileen, I wasn't quite sure where, I was thinking a quiet cafe and see how many turns up and then rent a room in the library for a hour or so. Maybe once a month. Doesn't look like there are many that interested!!

    What level of experience are you looking for? I'm a bit of a beginner but would be interested in similar or more experienced writers to meet/discuss/share writing techniques and work.

    I do plan on attending a few courses over the next 6 months if this is for intermediates/experts only.

    Good idea OP either way! :)

    We should all do it! How about we all meet next month sometimes? mid July? No experience necessary! It's just so we can help each other, make sure we stick to writing and stuff like that! We can get feedback on each others writing too.

    I'm just seventeen, and how seriously should I take "No experience necessary". ha I do write and have written though.

    Would I be totally out of my depth?

    There is no age limit for talent my dear! No sure it's for creative input.
    Write something. I'm going to bring along some of my short stories. I have done screenwriters courses, writing courses etc! I am writing two novels at the mo and some short stories. Everyone is welcome. I was thinking of bringing along short stories competition information and details about writing/grants. Depending on what type of stuff everyone write. It will just be great to meet up with fellow writers!

    I'd be very interested in this!

    Like Inkslinger and Robbyn (sounds like a dynamic duo if ever there was one) I have very little or no experience but do plan on pursuing a writing course in the near future. Can I be counted in at the IFI on 19th July? What time are we talking?

    Just as a side note, I will need to confirm availability for 19th due to unconfirmed commitments but can definitely make the next one...if there is one! Fingers X'ed :)

    Evening time anytime suits due to work - anything after 6pm is fine with me.

    Once again, I have to stress, I may not make this meeting on the 19th due to unconfirmed commitments but if it continues I will be there - I will confirm closer to that date! Thanks!

    I think they do food there, so we could make it 6-6.30 and people could snack if necessary.

    Will we say about 6.30? around that time? That suits me too. If anyone wants to join us later on then thats cool too. IFI does lovely food! So if anyone is coming straight from work etc. :) can't wait now!!
