Feed back at the meetings is verbal though many choose to scribble constructive comments on each submission and return them to their authors. Contributions of up to 1500 words, from works in progress, are circulated by email several days in advance. The group operates on the assumption that members will try to attend at least three out of four meetings. Most members therefore are aspiring novelists, but the range of genre is wide and activity extends from flash fiction and short stories to novels. It originated around the time of the first Novel Fair to assist entrants in trialing their writing and ideas, as well as offering mutual support. The group is well established and diverse in age, interests and background. At the moment, with eighteen members, the group is full.Īs its name suggests, this group meets on the second Monday of each month from 7.00pm to 9.00-9.30pm at the Teachers’ Club on Parnell Square. Membership of the WEB women writers’ group is by invitation only. Several have published books, had plays and film scripts produced, and many have won prestigious literary prizes. Over the years, many of the WEB writers have established successful literary careers. Since 1992, the group has been happy to use the facilities of the Irish Writers’ Centre for its meetings, which are held once a month, on Saturday afternoons. So the WEB Women Writers’ Group was born.
When the Arlen House project finished, eleven of the participants decided to continue meeting to peer review their own work.
The initiative was designed to encourage and help Irish women to become serious writers, at a time when it was perceived that women were under-represented in the Irish literary canon.
