Creative Writing Society

Hello, and welcome to the Creative Writing Society! 

We’re here to provide a creative outlet for any writers of poetry, prose, or even script — whether you’re pursuing a lifelong passion or just enjoy writing as a hobby, this is the place for you. 

Our aim is to provide a safe space for the writers of MMU to express their ideas however they see fit; be you a classic romantic or a burgeoning punk, you can fill your niche here! 

We hold regular meet-ups where we’ll write and share pieces of writing, as well as holding themed workshops for each medium every month. 

In the future we plan to hold competitions, release a regular zine, and host open-mic nights. 

To keep up to date and make sure you don’t miss the latest news, follow us on our Instagram.

We look forward to seeing you all soon!

Want to create your own society?

Had a search through all our societies and can’t find the one you’re looking for? Why not set it up yourself! 

It’s really easy and we’re here to support you throughout.

Frequently asked questions

Some societies are free to join, whilst others may have a small fee of around £5 to £10 for the whole year.

Your joining fees are then used to cover the running of the society (sometimes there’ll be extra costs if the society offers classes, special events or trips). 

Any questions? Drop the society a message or speak to us.

Current Manchester Met students are welcome to join our societies all year round.

Freshers Fair is a particularly great opportunity for you to meet and join our societies in person. 

For existing societies, committee members are chosen by members of the society through an online election. Elections take place in March ready for the upcoming academic year, and the role of committee member runs from July to June. 

For new societies, the founding members choose their committee to get started.

Fill out this booking form, giving at least one week’s notice to ensure the room is secured. You can request any bookable space in The Union or the University, but first make sure to check the building’s opening hours.

You should definitely wait for confirmation of your booking before spreading the word to your society members.
