The Riff Raff of the Writing World

  • Submitted: 5th July 2017

Who once said that authors were a bunch of riff raff? Well no one really but I’ve found a group that are -in the niciest way possible!  The Riff Raff is a bunch of lovely people who host monthly events for aspiring authors and lovers of new writing. They meet up in London and it’s like having a bunch of book loving people chatting over a drink or two about books. What more is there to say?

Now what better way to spend your evening than with debut authors and bookish chat?

So who are the original Riff Raff?

“The Riff Raff is the love child of Amy Baker and Rosy Edwards – friendly humans who want to create a welcoming community where debut authors can come to read their work to a lovely crowd of fellow writers and book enthusiasts. ”

And…..”We encourage boozing, mingling and words of encouragement. ”
