Step inside a space where stories are not just written – they are shared, shaped, and celebrated.
Settle Writers Group is your creative home in the Yorkshire Dales and beyond: an annual membership offering monthly online gatherings where people who love words come together to explore, experiment and grow. Whether you’re polishing a novel, jotting down poems on the bus, or simply curious about writing for the first time, this is a place where your voice is welcomed exactly as it is.
Each session is gently guided, rich with prompts and conversation, and built around what makes Settle Stories special: community, creativity and the magic that happens when people dare to share what’s been quietly forming on the page. Think of it as a warm, monthly pause in the rush of life. A chance to refill the creative well with good company, encouragement, and the spark of new ideas.
Writers tell us they come for inspiration but stay for the friendships. They stay because it’s a rare thing today to find a group where no one competes, everyone listens, and every story, from the funny to the fierce to the fragile, is met with kindness.
Join us, and you become part of a community rooted in Yorkshire heritage yet open to voices from everywhere. It’s a place to experiment. To try new forms. To surprise yourself. To keep writing, even on the months when life feels too busy for words.
Settle Writers Group is for you if you:
Whether you join us from Settle or from the far side of the world, you’ll find the same thing every month: a warm welcome, a friendly circle of writers, and that quiet, glowing moment when the right words finally find their way onto the page.
Come write with us. Your next story might just begin here.
