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 …
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.
Meetup details are available only to members.
The purpose of this group is to provide a supportive community for people who love to write but who can never seem to find the time when left to their own devices. This group will give deadlines that must be met and where peers can give constructive criticism and feedback to each other. Trade tips on overcoming writer's block, procrastination habits, and the like. As well as get together and discuss writing and books with others. Anyone who needs that extra incentive to sit down and write is enc …

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 …

This group is for any of these and more: If you're working on a piece, we'll help you with ideas and your writing process. If you're blocked or are having trouble writing, we'll work on what's getting in the way. If you've written and want to get published, we'll find out what the next step is (including self publishing). We'll talk about - who your favorite writers are, and what you like to read. In this group we'll get together to do good work, and have fun!

This group is for individuals working on novels, screenplays, nonfiction, serious, funny, whatever..., that require time for review of longer sections of their works. The employment of the term `Other, Other...' is simply my Homage to the Monty Python `Piranha Brothers' episode

Meetings are usually two hours. A writer will on average submit once a month. Before being admitted to the group, we require a writing sample. Any representative work will be fine. It doesn't have to be long.
This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published. Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract. While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …
