      THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS WRITERS

      An Introduction

      Tunbridge Wells Writers is a small collective of writers living in and around the much-maligned town of Tunbridge Wells in Kent. We meet once a fortnight to discuss all aspects of writing, to offer mutual support and encouragement, to swap ideas and writing tips, and, on occasion, to work together on group projects like this one. Several of us, in the great writer tradition, also like to take the opportunity to down a few glasses of wine and/or beer, which is one of the reasons we meet in a local pub. 

      Neither a fondness for alcohol nor residence in Tunbridge Wells are prerequisites for membership of the group, however, so if you, dear reader, have similar literary ambitions but prefer soft drinks or live elsewhere please feel free to join us either in the flesh or through our website and/or Facebook page which are found -     

      Here: Website

      and Here: Facebook Page

      We also promote the group through Meet-Up, where dates and times of upcoming meetings are always available, though the number of potential attendees is best taken with a pinch of salt as many of our members regularly forget to click on the RSVP: Meet Up Page

      FOREWORD

      About the Project

      A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words is the second group project* of the Tunbridge Wells Writers. The remit was quite a simple one; to write flash fiction stories of approximately 1000 words based on the AllPosters.co.uk distributed poster image shown below.

      We hope you will enjoy reading the stories as much as we enjoyed writing them.

      * Our first project, an audio tour (auditoury) of Tunbridge Wells, was undertaken as part of the Electric Lantern Festival 2012, and is accessible online here: ELF

      We hope to produce an e-book version of the ELF recordings in the very near future, which will also be available as a free download. If you enjoy the 12,000 words or so you find here please feel free to contact us for further information - The Tunbridge Wells Writers, December 2012
