Welcome to Clackmannanshire Writers

The Clackmannanshire Writers website has been created for residents of the "Wee County" who are interested in creative writing.  Here you will find local creative writing events, a forum to share ideas, and some examples of creative writing by local people. Keep an eye on the website as it is updated weekly.

Clackmannanshire Writers is hosted by Tom Murray, Writer in Residence to Clackmannanshire Council.  Tom wants to hear from any local budding poets, novelists and scriptwriters, as well as individuals , groups and people of all ages. Whatever level your writing is at, if you are interested in developing your skills and are looking for advice or feedback or simply someone to bounce ideas off , he wants to hear from YOU!
