Santiago
Writers & the 2012 National
Association of Writing Groups Anthology Competition
Comments
on the winning entry: from EDWG (East Dulwich Writing Group)
“Perspectives
by Santiago Writers, was the hands-down winner. What we loved about this
collection was the sheer reading pleasure it provided. The writing in all the
short stories and poems was polished and highly engaging. There was a variety
of voices, from writers of all ages and differing degrees of experience. This
was not a collection by a group of professional writers but, from the quality
of the work, it could have been. There were stories and poems that lingered
long in the reader’s mind. Much of the writing was beautifully evocative of
place, with powerful sensory imagery and description ripe with emotional weight. In other words, we loved it.”
An important part of
the success of the Santiago Writing Group since 2005, has been the local
workshops led by professional Canadian and English writers visiting Los
Parronales. Living rather isolated (writing) lives, the annual January
sessions have been and both utterly instructive and inspiring for group members
honing their craft.
Latest opportunity to join us… see January 2013 details below.
