This month’s meeting will be our AGM- we will be looking over what we can learn from the past year, as well as discussing our plans for the next one.
If you’re thinking about joining us to say hello, please be aware the AGM agenda means there is no script discussion or story workshopping in the May meeting- we’ll resume normal service when we meet again at the beginning of June.

Local Nottingham writer and DSW member JF Sheehan has his book ’No Borders to Poetry’ released on 26 January 2022. For Johnny, as he’s known locally, it’s his first book, and while he could not read or write till he was eleven years old, he admits his book might have taken a little time to develop. You might still be in time to catch his Zoom Book Launch on 26 January at 2-3pm – you can join the zoom meeting by clicking this on link https://zoom.us/j/98552235502?pwd=ZUtpeTZKVklZZGhmOHBuWFo2V0VHQT09
The book is a mixture of poetry, short stories and plays, and it’s available on Amazon – £4.99 for the paperback or £2.99 for the Kindle version, with half of all book sales going to The Canaan Trust, a Nottingham homeless charity. If you’d like any more information about the book or its author JF Sheehan, you can log in to his website at www.jfsheehan.com
