Scriveners is a group intended as a forum for writers to give and receive literary criticism of its members' work. Work brought 'on spec' is not discussed, because members need time to consider their comments. Only members' work is discussed. No speakers, exercises or workshops are included and members are not obliged to provide work for discussion or give comments on others' work - some prefer to be observers, at first, while others join in straight away. Although the atmosphere is very friendly, the task of criticism is taken seriously.
Scriveners has been in existence for many years. Recently the group changed its meeting place from Abergavenny to Brynmawr.
The group meets on alternate Wednesdays at 8pm at the Royal Exchange, Davies Street, Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent. A Journal of submitted work is issued by mail to members who then have the opportunity to provide constructive criticism during the evening. After each piece has been discussed the writer has the opportunity to comment on the feedback received. Prospective members may attend three meetings without joining and would receive the fortnightly newsletter, free of charge, during that time.
