The Writers Club (TWC) is a local literary organisation which started off as a University-based organisation in November, 2009. The Writers Club brings together, guides, and supports young writers – both local and foreign, aged 16+ in a series of workshops, seminars, public readings, and writing festivals so that they may develop their creativity and writing skills and grow as writers.
Kelly Vero has been writing professionally for almost 20 years. She has worked on soap operas and continuing drama serials as well as working for a few years in the US music industry as a publicist. Her first big break in the games industry was a pure accident and she ended up working on Tomb Raider. After a few years’ break she returned to writing and has worked on Halo 3, the Final Fantasy series and Transformers.
Kelly has recently received her Master’s Degree in Creative Writing and her studies this year have immersed her fully in Greek and Roman mythology.
Dean Fenech is a Maltese author and artist. In 2011 he released his first graphic novel Apocalypse Rocked and since then has continued to work on another instalment of Apocalypse Rocked and another graphic novel The Boy Who Saved Rock ‘n Roll. He currently works as a Social Studies teacher in a local secondary school, where he leads a student comic club.
W.A.R.S.’ mission is to promote Role-playing and Wargaming in all their forms.
People from various walks of life and age groups share this thrilling hobby and meet on a regular basis at their premises. Although the members’ mutual hobby is a binding factor, they have also evolved long lasting friendships and other activities that aren’t related to the hobby.
The society’s doors are open to anyone who’s interested in the hobby and wants to meet new opponents and party members. The premises at Floriana are open most days of the week after 6 and on Saturdays from 9 onwards.
