Write Space is the online home of the Chorley & District Writers' Circle. We've created this website to encourage local people to pick up a pen and start writing. Don't be intimidated by a blank sheet of paper - give it a go! The rewards are great. As well as enriching your life; writing and self-expression are proven to help physical and emotional wellbeing. You don't have to write poetry or stories, you may find it easier start with a journal or a memoir.
Come along to one of our friendly meetings for lots of hints and tips to help you get started or to share your writing and receive positive feedback. We also invite you to read some of the creative work on the website.
