​Join us every Thursday from 4:00 - 5:00 PM for the Inklings Writers Club!

The Inklings were an informal group of writers that included J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, authors of The Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia, respectively, who frequently met at the Unicorn Inn in Malvern, England.

The Inklings' most important meetings involved members reading aloud from books and poems that they had been writing, awaiting vigorous critiques and suggestions from the other members. 

According to Warren Lewis, ". . . praise for good work was unstinted, but censure for bad work
--or even not-so-good work--was often brutally frank."

So, what can you expect from Inklings Writers Club? Much like the great English authors of old, we are an informal gathering for critiquing the works of fellow writers, be it book, short story, poem, and everything in-between! We encourage you to bring in samples of your writing for thoughts, tips and suggestions!
