We are a writing critique group specifically geared toward people working on novels. Most of our members are writing sci fi/fantasy, but we are open to writers working in other genres. If you are primarily a poet or a playwright, we are not the group for you. We intentionally keep our membership small so that every member of the group can submit writing to every meeting. As a result, we are all very familiar with each others' work. We seek members who are committed to providing honest, constru …

Always wanted to write, but can't get started? Stuck midway through a project? Writers need time devoted to the doing, and this group aims to set aside and protect that time.

During our gatherings in a quiet setting, we will write exercises and offer feedback without damaging writing or writers. Those with a piece in progress may choose either t …

We all need support and guidance as we face the joys and sorrows of everyday life. From childhood through our older years, we encounter new challenges. Our community and/or family may be unable to offer us the emotional support, know-how and/or life skills to help us regain our balance. I started this meet-up to encourage people (individuals, couples,families) to reach out as human beings who are facing bumps in the road and need a place to share with others that feels safe where we can share ou …

First and foremost this is a writers' critique group. Many talented and published writers rely on some form of outside checks and balances to ensure that their writing is the best it can be. The style, content, and quality of what they write is of paramount importance. This is where a good critique group is invaluable. Critique groups provide a level of overview and feedback that helps a writer prepare their ms. (manuscript) for an editor's sharp scrutiny. In addition to being a critique group, …

This group is for people who have or want to have their books published on eBook pages such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sony, iTunes, Diesel-eBook, Smashwords, etc. The object of this group is to help people get through the intricacies of getting your book out, and share resources for cover art, advertising, and formatting.

This is a group that needs talented writers, performers, artists and designers in order to collaborate as a group to create an original play and eventually have it performed on stage. It will take passion and a love of creating something unique in order to be a member of this group. It is certainly something we can pull off, as long as the group works together. To write, produce, perform and premiere an original play is not something many people can ever say they had a chance to do, and I believ …
