Wordfringe, now operating under the name North East Writers, aims to support, promote and coordinate the practice of literature in North-East Scotland. We work in partnership with writers, publishers, venues and writers' groups to organise and present the New Words festival in September and other literary activities throughout the year.

We aim to raise awareness of our own and other organisations' events and activities through the provision of high quality publicity including websites, Facebook, Twitter and email feeds.

In order to carry out these functions we rely very much on the work of enthusiastic volunteers. We normally hold combined committee and planning meetings once a month in Aberdeen to keep everyone up to date. Sub-groups working on specific projects meet as and when necessary, though much communication is done electronically as we cover such a wide geographical area.

If you are passionate about new writing in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, whether as a reader or listener, writer or performer, individual or member of an organisation, please come along to the AGM and consider getting involved. You will be most welcome!
