This is a great idea - and anyone can do it! We've been meeting to discuss short spec fiction for 5 years. Grab a couple of friends and start your own groups!
We have decided the world needs short fiction clubs instead of just book clubs. All those people who don’t finish a book in time and fumble their way through the meet-up can switch over and live a shame free life. Selfishly I recommend picking your material from a plucky, small press magazine.
