What weโ€™re about

If you have social anxiety or shyness, but you love literature and would like to join a small, no-pressure MeetUp, THIS GROUP IS FOR YOU!

We will meet once a fortnight (or whenever you feel like you can make it) and just sit as a group, or perhaps in pairs or threes (whatever feels comfortable at the time), and have a casual chat about how weโ€™re feeling and what we think about the literature.

Occasionally weโ€™ll be looking at poetry, from time-to-time short stories, but more-often-than-not weโ€™ll be reading a slightly longer novella (or short novel).

Please donโ€™t worry, nobody will EVER be expected to read anything aloud or to say anything at all if they donโ€™t feel like it.

The setting itself will always be very casual and the group will be held in a quiet, cosy room at the back of a larger community centre in the evenings, when nobody else is around.

Youโ€™re more than welcome to come and just listen to me or other people speaking, if you feel more comfortable that way. Whatever stage youโ€™re at with reading or with anxiety or shyness, I assure you this is a safe and non-threatening environment.

Whenever youโ€™re ready, it would be great to have you here!
