About STEM Writers

STEM Writers Nelson meet twice-monthly, to support individual and collaborative writing projects across all genres: fiction, short fiction, memoir and family history, poetry, reportage...

Contact us if you want to join and try writing something new - or maybe, ask us to take on a task!

Meetings are on the Second Tuesday of Every Month - thus the title, STEM - and again on the Fourth Tuesday. The meetings run from 1.00 - 3.00 in the Activities Room at Nelson’s Elma Turner Library in Halifax Street; tea, coffee and cake provided.

If you’re interested, send us a message on the CONTACT button on the menu above - or just turn up.

You and your writing are both welcome at STEM!

STEM WritING Group Fourth Tuesday Project MeetingS

Fourth Tuesday STEM Meetings are about two sorts of writing projects:

Individual projects, where we ask a group member to guide us through the current work of their project, considering issues they’re encountering and giving immediate feedback and advice

Group projects, where we select, plan, design and critique writing from various members for a themed collective publication.

Where particular issues emerge, or recur, we also from time to time run a writing workshop, to consider solutions or new techniques to address writing problems.

Fourth Tuesday sessions run at the same time, and at the same venue, as Second Tuesday sessions. All welcome!

Theme for February, 2023:

‘My life in five items or less…’

Following an idea from the Jock Phillips book: ‘A history of New Zealand in 100 items,’ this offers a chance to capture the varying stages of your own life, in just five items of significance to you.

Here is a chance to do some memory work, and start some strands of memoir.

Prepare to read a five-minute extract to the group.

Meeting: Tuesday February 14th, 1-3.
