Neilson
I am a product specialist for a tech company and a film director for a passion. I love to read fiction as I can escape into a creative world. This also helps my screenwriting because I write all the time for my films. New to the area of Southend-on-Sea. I don't know anyone so I'd love to join this community and meet like minded people.

Selina77
I live a busy life - 2 children and I’m a deputy head. I love to read and need to make more time for myself so I thought I’d combine the two! I don’t often read non-fiction but would be open to it. I like paranormal, crime on occasion, some horror. In fact, as an avid reader, there isn’t much I won’t try! Looking to meet fortnightly, monthly. Whatever suits really. Would prefer local :)

Toby
I mostly read poetry in various formats and genres, but would love to expand in to other types of reading! My most read non-poet authors are William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Would love to join a book club or discussion type group, to expand my taste and simply to just find new friends and recommendations!
