The Writing Society is an academic society that gives writers the opportunity to share work and receive help in a positive environment. Our weekly sessions may take place inside or outside and free refreshments are often provided. We encourage our writers to explore all forms and genres of writing with our prompts and warm-up exercises!
In past years our writers have taken part in UniSlam, the UK’s National University Poetry Slam competition. We are also proud to announce the launch of the Student Journal: Roey Writes On. Submissions for the third edition are currently open. Email your pieces or any questions to urwriting.society@roehampton.ac.uk
"You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write." - Annie Proulx
