About Us
Writers in Oxford is the society for published writers and authors in Oxford and Oxfordshire. Founded in 1992, it now has around 200 members spread across the city, the county and beyond.

Our aim is to bring writers together to enjoy each other’s company, network, develop professionally, and enjoy a wide range of literary and other events.
