Julie Hurn
Chair
I joined LWG nine years ago and it has given me the confidence to call myself a writer. Short Stories and Flash Fiction are my go-to, however, at present I am working on my first novel. Listening to my fellow members work every month has inspired and challenged me to become a better writer.
Sylvia Smith
Committee Member
LWG has given me my motivation to write over the past 15 years. Published works include a non-fiction book on acting, various articles, poems, a play and a children’s story. I recently successfully self-published a collection of my work, which gave me the confidence to do the same with my memoirs.
Patricia Knight
Secretary
I am currently the group's secretary. I have been writing short stories and Flash Fiction for around nine years. My first published piece was a Flash Fiction story in the National Flash Fiction Anthology. I also enjoy writing & directing short science fiction films about time travel. My debut collection of short stories, 'Tales from an Irish tree' is being published in 2027.
Andy Vaughn
Treasurer
To date I've had one novel published with a second currently in production. A marketing manager by day, writing has become a relatively recent hobby and getting a publishing deal convinced me it was a hobby worth persevering with. I joined LWG in 2021 - a wide range of friendly supportive writers, sharing their own experiences and encouraging me to write and share short stories, flash fiction etc for the first time.

I was born in Lutterworth, where I returned to live after thirty-six years in London. I was an actress for thirty years, working in theatre, television and radio. I have written a series of ten novels, published by Storm Publishing, set in WW2, the Cold War and the 1960's. I have also self- published a collection of short stories, poetry and articles, as well as a detective novel set in 1970 and a spy thriller set in 1971. I am currently making notes for my memoir.
