salisbury writing circle

Hello and a warm welcome to the Salisbury Writing Circle.

We are the largest, liveliest and friendliest fiction writing community in South Wiltshire. Formed in Spring 2015 (though a previous version of the circle ran for many years, with the esteemed William Golding as honorary president), we have over 300 members, ranging from enthusiastic beginners through to internationally published novelists. And through the group, the Salisbury Literary Festival was established in 2017, which is run and organised by Writing Circle members.

Salisbury Writing Circle gets together once a month at Sarum College in the Cathedral Close: the sessions begin with workshopping on a particular aspect of writing; we then usually have a guest author to come along, who talks and takes questions on their own work; we then retire to a local hostelry to carry on talking books over a glass of wine.

The sessions are led by local author Tom Bromley , who has taught novel writing for over a decade for the Faber Academy, the Professional Writing Academy and now Reedsy. There is no charge for attending: the aim of the group is to build and grow a supportive community of local writers. We want to keep the sessions free so that anyone interested in writing and meeting other writers can come along, regardless of circumstance (we remain extremely grateful to the lovely Sarum College for the use of their room, and ask for a small voluntary donation to continue this).

If you are interested in joining, please contact Tom Bromley at [email protected] or find us on social media on Facebook or Twitter .

Forthcoming dates are as follows:

Wednesday 11 Sept with special guest Judith Heneghan

Wednesday 2 October with special guest Claire Fuller

Wednesday 16 November with special guest TBC

All regular sessions 7.30pm at:

Sarum College, 19 The Close, Salisbury, SP1 2EE

Many thanks for dropping by and hope to see you soon!

English Major

Among the most commonly spoken languages in the world, English is the language of media, the internet, business, science, computers, diplomacy, tourism and more. Command over the English language does more than give you culture and style – it opens up a world of possibilities for your future.

Why Choose an English Major at Salisbury University?

Salisbury University’s English major prepares students not only for the workplace of today, but the workplace of tomorrow, graduate school and lifelong learning. We cultivate visionary thinkers with a wide range of courses – from analyzing Medieval literature to the strategies of digital media.

As a Salisbury student, you could take part in the following opportunities:

• Contribute to and edit a literary magazine
• Attend on-campus events such as Writers on the Shore , featuring world-renowned writers
• Enter the SU Student Film Festival
• Study abroad, including places like London, Ghana and Iceland
• Take up variety of internships

Our department may be housed in a small city, but our outreach is truly international: Our graduates have taught English abroad in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America. We are also home to one of most distinguished academic journals worldwide, Literature/Film Quarterly .

English Major Tracks and Concentrations

At SU, students may complete the liberal arts English major in one of seven unique ways to bring their words to life. From creative writing to teacher certification, we will put the pen in your hand and help you write your story.

Let your imagination run free with the creative writing concentration. SU will help you express yourself through fiction, poetry and literary analysis with courses that explore diverse cultures and literary movements. Share your work with fellow authors and get feedback from faculty members with publishing experience.  Learn more about the Creative Writing Program.

Make a difference by learning to teach English as a second language. Your reach will cross cultural boundaries as you learn foreign languages offered through SU, such as Spanish, French or German. With the help of field experience and internships, our graduates have taught English throughout the world.  Learn more about the English as a Second Language Program.

Big screen dreams start in the classroom at SU, where you will gain an introduction to the film industry, including international cinema. Whether you want to write the next blockbuster or make your name reviewing independent movies, the film concentration gives you a solid foundation. Our students enjoy a large library collection of DVDs for independent study and a fully equipped media room for outstanding film screenings. Learn more about the Film Program at SU.

Issues important to the English language are universal and may be applied to other fields, such as forensics and medical discourse. With the linguistics concentration, students can learn how to interact with people of a variety of language and cultural backgrounds.

Engage with issues of race, gender and sexuality, ethnicity, identity and class as you study everything from British Romantic literature to South Asian traditions. You can explore the human condition with a wide range of authors including Mark Twain and J.K. Rowling. With an ever-growing curriculum, literature courses at SU have included spring break trips abroad.  Learn more about the Literature Program.  

The writing and rhetoric concentration guides students in shaping writers’ ideas. Students at SU participate in collaborative projects such as co-authored papers and group presentations that develop writing, listening and interpersonal skills vital for career success. This concentration can prepare students for study in a variety of areas, including media, publishing, education and civic organizations.  Learn more about the Writing and Rhetoric Program.

By following course requirements through the teacher certification track, SU students can be approved to teach grades 7-12. SU offers teacher certification with the Maryland State Department of Education.
