Kickstart 2024 with the 5am Writing Club

Why not kickstart your writing year with the 5am Club at Kemptown Bookshop in Brighton? Join other local writers from 5am on Wednesday 3rd January to work on your work in progress. Coffee, tea and pastries available to get your writing going – all before the official start of term. 

Cathy will open the shop at 5am and you're welcome to join us then, or at anytime after that - and leave whenever you need to. The shop opens to the general public at 9am but if you're in full flow, you're free to stay as long as you like.

Tickets are limited to 12 as we only have so many chairs and table space. They cost £5 and include a hot or cold drink. You can buy other drinks to keep you going during the morning. The local bakery usually delivers our pastries at about 7am to give you that extra energy boost.

This is a silent write session - there's no workshopping, just the motivation of being around other writers as the sun comes up on one of the shortest days of the year. 


If you don't live close enough to Brighton to join us in person, then why not develop your own 5am Club at home, knowing your fellow students are with you in spirit.
