We are a small group of writers, each with a unique story or series of stories to tell.  Our goal is to meet a couple times a month to inspire, encourage and support one another as we commit to our writing journeys.  Ultimately each of us aspires to get published and to keep on writing as long as the muse calls.  We are purposely keeping this circle of writers small to maintain the intimacy and integrity of the group - similar to a book club.  However, we do have a waiting list for future member …

We are a small group of writers who meet each week to critique one anothers' fiction projects in a casual and supportive environment. We have been meeting regularly for more than a year and a half, and we are looking to replace some members that have moved away from LA. We are looking for young fiction writers who are able to make it to Studio City every Thursday evening for a couple of hours. Each member reads two to three submissions each week, and submits a piece of anywhere from 10 - 15 page …

This group is created specifically for Creative Writers, who know they have something beautiful, meaningful, or helpful to say, know (or may not know yet) that they are incredibly talented, can make the time for writing, yet somehow, something else seems to always get in the way. We all know how self-defeating procrastination can be, waiting for a better time ("when I have more hours, when I am less rushed, etc.") until the opportunity is lost, but also that procrastination is merely a habit. J …

There are already plenty of writers' groups, but most of them are geared toward hobbyists rather than toward writers who think big (I know because I used to belong to three of them). If you're a self-published author having difficulty selling or promoting your work, or you're a writer who's frustrated by organizers who've told you what you are and aren't allowed to write, or you'd like to write and self-publish but are intimidated by the process, SPACE is for you. My name is Martin, and I've bee …

We are a group of working actors, veteran actors and actors with writing careers who have come together to share our experience, acting craft expertise, professional knowledge and support so that we may all become better at what we love to do and at the business of doing it.

Sharpening the actors tools, we focus on cold reading, audition techniques, on-camera techniques and improvisation. Our member …
