This month’s meeting continues our work critiquing one of our member’s scripts in progress before it’s submitted for our festival of one act plays at Derby Theatre in September- and it’s been really interesting to see the different approaches our members have made to make stories that come to life. If you’d like to join us and say hello, get in touch.
We’re building up to having our scripts completed for our festival of one act plays at Derby Theatre this September, so we’ll be critiquing another DSW member’s script this Sunday to get our work fighting fit and ready to wow our audience- if you’d like to join us, get in touch.
It was great to catch up with members this weekend after bad weather forced us to cancel our December meeting- special congratulations to DSW Member Jeff who featured in ‘Best’ magazine with a prizewinning ‘Story for Christmas’- great news to start 2024!
Happy New Year! 2024 is here, and we’re looking forward to presenting our one act plays at Derby Theatre this September. We’ll be critiquing another DSW member’s script this Sunday to get our work ready for performance- if you’d like to join us, get in touch.
Congratulations to DSW member Lynda- her novel ‘Voltaire’s Garden’ featured as part of the National Association of Writers Groups recent roundup- Lynda talks about the inspiration and creation of her novel here:
“Voltaire – philosopher, human rights campaigner, satirist, playwright and atheist. 300 years ago he was urging tolerance – and saying the world would be a better place if world leaders got out into their gardens!
I enjoyed researching for this novel and visiting his mansion in Ferney-Voltaire on the Franco-Swiss border.
My less-than-serious novel, Voltaire’s Garden, is in paperback and Kindle from Amazon.”
Sadly, the snowy overnight weather in Derbyshire has scuppered a lot of our member’s travel plans to get to this afternoon’s meeting, so we’re cancelling it for now- stay safe and warm everyone.
Hello, we’re coming up to the end of the year, but there’s still plenty of work to be done and scripts to be discussed! We’ll be critiquing DSW member John’s scripts in more detail after our online table read earlier this month, to help get them ready for submission to our 2024 festival of plays in a day at Derby Theatre – if you’d like to join us, get in touch.
Congratulations to DSW member Jeff who is one of November’s Thursday Connectors with his prose piece ‘Think of a Number’ in PenToPrint.org! Congratulations Jeff!
Congratulations to DSW member Jeff who is PenToPrint.org’s November listener contribution with ‘The First Day of the Rest of Your Death’
Well done Jeff!
Hello, we’re well on our way to having our scripts ready for selection at our next festival of plays in a day at Derby Theatre, after holding our first online script readthrough this month. It’s a chance for writers to hear their work take a step off the page, and a really useful experience for script writers and script readers alike- many thanks to everyone who helped make it happen!
We’re meeting up to discuss works in progress from DSW members Chrissie and Andrew this Sunday- if you’d like to join us, get in touch.
