I started TPW in response to my own desire to investigate the opportunities in the world of travel photography and writing. Many people would love to have the job of a travel photography/writer, but very few are willing to "pay the dues" and learn the craft. Every guy with a camera (GWAC to professional photographers) thinks he can spend $5000 on equipment and immediately start raking in the dough as a photographer. The truth is, it's not about the camera. Give a great photographer a hundred do …

Hi I am Aili. I just moved back to Seattle after living in New York for three years and graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. While I am living in Seattle I am working on a screen play. As you may know when you are writing a screenplay you spend a lot of time by yourself cooped writing; that being said, I have not met a lot of similar minded people yet. I thought it would be a great idea to have fellow aspiring screenplay writers\ novelist to meet over coffee or a glass of wine …

Many Christian dramas contain unrealistic sentimental piety. In contrast, the Bible is a book of real people, real conflicts, real emotions. Jesus' faithful followers have real adventures, real problems, and amazing experiences. Our plays can show those realities honestly – while serving spiritual food that sizzles. Do you write Christian plays? Let's get together to improve our dramas by doing table readings and discussions. The third meeting of the Seattle Christian Playwrights is on Saturday, …

Some of the best poetry I've written has happened either in a class or group of like minded poetry lovers. My hope is that we will meet and study poetry forms during our meetups, write on our own then come together to workshop the poems we've written and study the next form. I would very much like to have a diverse group of people and encourage anyone who loves poetry and desires to write to join us.
