We are open to all and free of charge. We meet once a month in Marzano Bar at The Forum, Norwich. Café Writers present a wide range of writers performing a variety of styles - poetry, drama, prose - in an atmosphere that both welcomes new work and invites professional polish. There are opportunities to read from the floor. We have around 250 people on our email list, and attendances are usually 60 - 80 people.
