The Written Word Group
My name is Berni Albrighton and I am the co-founder of The Written Word Group. Based in Almanzora, Spain, we are a group of writers who meet regularly to discuss, motivate, create and share a passion for the written word. Each member has their own unique style and there will definitely be something for everyone who likes to listen to original work. We do not censor the work of our members and respect the right to use adult language and content.
