Author Diane Chandler is hosting a Chiswick Buzz TV online ZOOM Book Club. Words with Wine on Wednesday in W4 is every other Wednesday at 6pm.
Wherever you are in the world, join us for a vibrant book discussion.
Enjoy (or not?) the book, grab a glass of your favourite tipple and a bowl of nibbles and see you there. No need to contribute, sit and listen or join in. It's completely free.
Sometimes we've been lucky enough to be joined by the authors themselves. So far we've had fantastic chats about their books and their writing with Louise Doughty, David Nicholls and Pete Paphides.

Creative Writing Workshops London
Creative writing workshops for beginners, with prize-winning novelist Diane Chandler and Blackbird
We have a lot of fun at these monthly workshops for beginners in Diane's west London kitchen. Small classes limited to 8. No pressure to share, read out or listen. Follow-on plot and character workshops for those who have attended the beginner's workshop.
All classes postponed until it's safe to meet again.
"An absolutely brilliant course! Concise, clear and full of humour."
"Exceeded my expectations.. cosy, intimate, yet professionally run."
"You both created a nurturing, productive and inclusive environment... though you made it seem effortless it was an extremely well-planned and considered workshop and I learnt a lot whilst thoroughly enjoying myself, which is rare"
“I have been to several of Diane and Steph’s classes and each one has been both a fun and thought-provoking experience. There’s something about the relaxed atmosphere they create which helps to loosen the anxieties of writing and I have found that effect continues well after the course.”
"Friendly and welcoming atmosphere... no pressure to share"
"Became aware that I have more imagination than I thought, an extraordinary discovery. Felt safe to share."
"Inspired me to write again"
