Creative Writing

'There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you' - Maya Angelou

Hello and welcome to the Creative Writing Society!

Home to a group of bookworms and budding writers, we aim to create and cultivate a community of readers and writers alike, of all disciplines and all genres. 

Our events this year include:

• A weekly Writer's Room, where creative writers can take part in prompt and flash fiction sessions, share their own pieces, and play writing related games. However, if you're more of a reader than a writer, feel free to come along and listen to the shared work, and participate in the game which follows.
• A bookshop crawl with Book Club, where we shall journey from bookshop to bookshop, browsing and potentially buying books along the way. 
• A writing workshop with Harrison Hickman which will take place in February 2027.

While we encourage those who attend to write and take part, this is not a rule and there is no requirement or pressure to share what you have written, or even to have written anything at all. We welcome students of all levels and backgrounds, and all the creativity they may bring.

Current sessions include:

Wednesday 3-5pm Writer's Rooms, hopefully in Fulton House, seminar room 1 (but who knows where the SU will end up sending us... - we will announce it on our Instagram so fear not!)

Sessions include prompt writing, story sharing and writing games. Even if you do not share your writing, we encourage members to take part in the in-session writing in order to develop and gain confidence and practice.

Follow our Instagram to keep up to date with scheduled events and society announcements, and if you have any questions feel free to email us at creativewriting@swansea-societies.co.uk

Hope to see you, and write with you, very soon!
