RIP Tim Jenkins – July 2025
It was with great sadness that we heard the news our founder and long-term group member Tim Jenkins passed away in July.
Tim was a passionate supporter of writers and an established writer himself under the pen name Kenneth Clelland.
We will miss Tim dearly, and we owe him deep gratitude for all he did for the group and all of the encouragement, motivation and inspiration he provided to each of us as members.
A biography of Tim can be found on the Members page.
