The Creative Writing Group of Heidelberg University is a long-standing group of people of all ages who enjoy writing in English. They have published several small readers and two collection of stories in book form. There are also readings in the Romanischer Keller every once in a while.
The group is open to anyone. No instruction is given on how to write but you will be expected both to write yourself as well as to comment on the writing of others. You'll usually find us on Thursday evenings at 6 p.m. in the seminar (somewhere near Peter's office) and at 8 p.m. in the Essighaus (Plöck).
