WRITERS IN THE LIBRARY
a selection of prose and poetry

Authors - various

A collection of assorted short stories and poems, including a short one-act play, by members of four Auckland writing groups - St Heliers Bay, Remuera, Onehunga and Mangere Bridge.

Coordinated by the St Heliers Writers' Group.

Throughout New Zealand many groups of people come together to talk about their writing and to read what they have written. Not all are as active and interesting as the ‘writers in the library’. As well as running twice-monthly meetings, they have arranged and funded weekend workshops with an exciting programme of speakers. This is a group with the energy and desire to give people a window on how to write better and to improve their storytelling.

Reviews

It has been my good fortune to be involved in a small way with the collection in this book.
I was asked to look at the stories submitted by the Writers’ Group and make some decisions as to what should be included and what should be sent back to the writers for further work. It was not an easy task as there were over sixty entries with plenty of good work that could be classed as ‘work-in-progress’. What I found most exciting was that there was such a wealth of material, and I think the reason for this can be placed at the hands of those people who have instigated and maintained this writers’ group.
I wish the Writers’ Group a long and happy life in encouraging and helping writers find their voice and create worthwhile and interesting literature. ~ Rae McGregor
