YOU: You like to write. You live for caffeine. You look forward to rainy days. You enjoy sharing ideas with other writers. You like the idea of 'writing circles,' as the Brits say, with regular meetings and a creative energy. ME: I am a 2008 Creative Writing graduate hoping to find others like me on Staten Island. I want to form a community of writers who will meet weekly for inspiration, conversation or just group writing sessions. THE SPACE: A beautiful coffee house/ art gallery with plenty of …

  When I was looking for members to join an established writing group of which I am part, I found there were many people who wanted a group for the beginning or novice writer. I started this group for those who might be intimidated by authors they feel are further along in their writing. I will be facilitating the group by giving writing assignments and exercises to those who would like them. I will also guide the group in their critiques which can be helpful to new writers and new groups in gen …

This is a group for writers who want to master powerful strategies to write better. The organizer, Charles Euchner, is a former teacher and administrator at Yale and Harvard and the author of a number of acclaimed works on politics, sports, civil rights, and more. The approach: Euchner has developed what he called a "brain-based system" for writing well. What's that mean?  It means that if you understand how the brain works -- how the brain gets engaged or confused, what makes it excited or bore …

  Writing Hemingway/Fitzgerald   We are a group of serious minded writers focused on publishing our work;  socializing takes place outside the meetup time. Members rarely miss a meetup.   We keep in small groups where everyone knows your name and you are an integral part of the discussions.  Nobody is meant to feel like they are a beginner or an outsider. We are one of the few groups that meet at an urban writers colony in Manhattan.  This gives us exposure to many successful writers who publish …

… If you're a playwright, we'd like to see a writing sample and a production resume.  We will read your materials before inviting you to audit up to three meetings--to see our process and get the feel of the ensemble.  Dues must be paid in advance of having any work read.

… At the end of the hour, we can choose to read our writing to the group or not. The writing can take the form of Poetry (maybe even a series of haiku’s?), rant, story or? Hell, if you rater draw for an hour on the subject you can do that as well.   If you know of any good freelance writing opportunities put them here: http://www.meetup.com/Brooklyn-Spontaneous-Writers-Meetup-Group/pages/Writing_Opportunities_-_Add_Here/

Writers mostly write. Besides writing, the second most important act is submitting. I'd like to meet once a month with a group of writers who are submitting their work.  During this meeting we can exchange ideas about motivation, where to submit certain kinds of work and the mechanics of submitting material. We can map out strategies for submitting work and make committments to the group about the process.  

Writing can be lonely existence. Sometimes, it's good to get out from behind the keyboard, see the sun and take a moment to talk to others who feel your pain, know your highs and lows and can offer support and guidance. The Westchester Writers Round Table is open to anyone who has decided to take the plunge and work on the craft of becoming a writer. It doesn't matter whether you've just finished your first chapter or have published a dozen books. Whether you write mysteries, children's books, h …

Two of us - a gay male writer and a lesbian female writer - decided to create a group for LGBTs who are serious about their writing, and want to share their work in an environment that understands and celebrates LGBT literature. The purpose of the group is to support each other's writing endeavors through positive encouragement, thoughtful critique and celebration. The format is biweekly meetings during which we discuss the work of two or three writers, depending on length of submissions. We'll …

I'm looking to form a small group from people who are serious about fiction writing, and who are actively doing so. By active, I mean writing to get published. This group is for us to get together and read and critique each others' work. Any genre, any age--everyone's welcome. The quality of your work, degree of seriousness, and courtesy towards the group is the most important thing. The basic format of a meeting is such: Each writer brings in 1000 or so words from whatever they’re working on …

I'm interested in forming a group of serious, non-fiction writers for Bergen County. We can meet up once a month and discuss outlines or read selections of drafts. Anybody who is currently working on a non-fiction article, essay or book should join. If we get enough members, then we can arrange various sub-genre groups -- academic writing, blogging, news, sports, feature writing. Don't write alone! Write with us.

As a published writer of non-fiction (essays, op-eds, books), I know the importance of networking with other writers to ensure we carve out time to write, as well as to critique each others' work. The mission of this group is to do both, whether we write about gay issues or not. The goal is therefore to build a supportive and accepting environment to share our work, and provide constructive criticism. You need not be a published writer...just LOVE TO WRITE!
