… The BWW is different from most other meetup groups in that we serve the serious writer by offering high-quality, structured networking and learning opportunities. Every month, we offer an educational workshop taught by myself or a qualified professional. The BWW workshops are held Boulder at the Woody Creek Bakery or are sponsored by the Boulder Book Store. The North Metro Area Writers Chapter workshops are sponsored by the Barnes & Noble in Westminster.  I offer a monthly literary salon that gi …

I am a serious writer in need of a serious but fun critique group. I love to critique and I am in need of critiquers. I would like to open the group up to writing exercises, talking about writing, help brainstorming ideas or bouncing off ideas, and just to be surrounded by those who enjoy the torture and pleasure of writing as much as I do.

This is a great place to start for all of you who have ever wanted to write a novel. Thriller, chiller, romance, YA, sci-fi, urban fantasy, chick lit - whatever the genre (or none at all), here you will learn the essential ingredients of salable fiction from pro writer's coach, Janet Lynne Roots. Criticism is low-key and constructive; all published writers started somewhere. The first meeting is free, so come and check us out. From then on, it's $10 per meetup, or buy a punch card for $50 that's …

It seems like most writing meetups meet during the working day, and I imagine I'm not the only one who is working during that time. This meetup is for writers and aspiring writers of all kinds. The idea is that we will meet at a cafe in or near Longmont to write for an hour and a half or two, and then if people want to stay to chat about what they've written, get feedback, just say hello, they can stay. Once the group gets going, I'd like to invite established authors to come talk to us about th …

The Boulder Creative Conferences brings together the magazine and book industries' top photographers, writers, authors, book editors, photo editors, and magazine editors to teach local writers and photographers the art and soul of their craft, as well as how to break into the business. We hold quarterly workshops with smaller group meetings in between. In the past, we've had Pulitzer Prize winning magazine journalists and the photo editors from National Geographic on our faculty. Join if you wan …

The Louisville Writer's Workshop is a group for writers of all levels from any genre. This is a place for writers in the community to come together to critique each other's work and participate in discussions of all things writing, from generating ideas to plot, structure and character development to publishing. The group will be facilitated by Rachel Weaver, MFA.

There's a group for writers but they're all 40-50 years old, there's a group for artsy folks (I'm assuming, I don't know this for a fact), there's a group for twenty somethings but all they do is the geeks who drink circuit, but there's no group for creatively persuaded 20 somethings who like to drink coffee and shoot the shit about stuff (be it intellectual fodder, books, art, music or just whatever), So I decided to start one. I guess this is really just a veiled attempt to make some like mind …

Octivus is for all of us who want to effect positive change by working together and thinking strategically. On the 8th of each month, Octavians (you and me) decide on a group action ("feats of strength") we can all do together help bring about economic change. We will select activities that are focused, legal, and practical for everyday people to complete.   For example, we might all write a letter to our Congressperson or Senator urging them to vote for specific legislation favoring economic fa …

There's nothing quite as wonderful as a group of people creating together and establishing friendships over a sip...whether it's Guinness, tea or wine. This group is an opportunity to meet like-minded, creative folks who live in or near the Boulder area. I have found that having a group that meets regularly can assist in the completion of projects that have been languishing in the closet. Anyone with a creative talent is encouraged to join. Knitters, writers, jewelery makers, art journalers, art …

This meetup group is for screenwriters to share work, get feedback, gab about the screenwriting biz, and get motivated. The group is oriented to writers who have a good understanding of screenplay form and are interested in developing their craft and offering thoughtful feedback on others' work. 

… We'll also work on singing back-ups, group songs, writing an original song together, and of course our own individual performances. Kids who also play an instrument are highly encouraged to play and sing! They will practice learning to play at their particular level along with other professional musicians. And, if their skill level and comfort level allow, they can even help to accompany other students. The kids will be accompanied by professional musicians who have many years of experienc …

Thanks to all who came to our first meet-up. Mark and I are close to completing our first feature, Openings, the search for Harry (openings dash movie dot com). We are also currently laying the groundwork for our next feature, The Cage. We are currently working with some of you that attended the first meeting, but welcome others that want to participate. We are currently looking for crew members-sound, lighting, camera (Canon 5D), grips, scriptwriters (collaborate with Mark), script supervis …

… In this group, we will meet in the evening and probably do just two sessions. The primal Code Retreat problem is Conway's Game of Life - it's an interesting problem in that it admits a wide variety of solutions and is simple enough that one can usually almost (but not quite) write a complete implementation in 45 minutes. While we're starting off this group working on Life (at least for the first meetup) my hope is that we expand the scope to work on other problems of similar size, complexity, a …

Long, but informative: Like-minded folks are working locally on a national effort to correct a major problem, called "corporate personhood," at the root almost every major social injustice and environmental crisis we'd all love to resolve - if only the playing field of democracy were fair & level. First, we are working to pass a Boulder resolution on 7/19 to organize support for solving this problem. Here's the deal: You may have heard of a relatively recent US Supreme Court decision (Citizen …

The intention of this group is create a wonderful community opportunity for Boulder based food writers, bloggers and photographers.

Meetups may consist of a variety of activities relating to food and drink (events, educational tours, etc.). To join: If you are a food writer, food blogger or food photographer of any level, residing in Boulder or immed …
