Come and join us
Retford Authors Group
A gathering of published and aspiring authors
We welcome members from North Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. There's no fee, no expectations, just good company.
About Us
We’re an eclectic bunch, united by our urge to write, drink coffee and wine, and enjoy good conversation.
Whether you're already published or still working on it, we're here to share the journey
There's somebody in the group who can advise on every aspect of the publishing process: editing, formatting, distribution and sales.
Our members write in just about every genre: crime, poetry, children’s books, historical novels, non-fiction, you name it. We’ve been traditionally published and we’ve self-published.
In addition to twice monthly meetings, we hold seasonal get togethers, market stalls to sell our books, and literary festivals.

A privilege to be part of this group. They have inspired me to be brave with my writing and take risks, and being part of a writers' collective who champion self-publishing and proudly promoting local writing is a great confidence boost.
