The Dean Writers Circle

The Circle was formed in 1978 following a creative writing course held by the Workers Educational Association. The  object of the Circle was to provide support, advice and inspiration to the members to improve their writing skills. This remains true today.
Our aspirations are simple: we are here to support and encourage local writers to be the best they can be.
