I myself have been interested in transitioning to creative writing for years, and along with it have come all the struggles; nailing down story ideas, carving out time to just write, writing without censoring, developing clear and connected descriptions of scenery, action and characters and answering the question, "is what I'm writing any good." This group is open to other creative writers who want the support of a group in doing all of that, to share their work with and to feel free to grow …

Do you have ideas running through your mind all the time that you would like to put into a story that you might even be able to get published one day? Would you like to have others read your writing or listen to your ideas and give you feedback? Would you like to give feedback to other writers about their stories? If yes, then this is the group for you. Who knows, maybe we'll even make some friends in the process of improving our writing. That sure sounds good to me. We'll write for the first 45 …

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 …

Welcome to Redmond Roaring Writers! We're a writing/critique group that meets every other Wednesday at the Redmond, WA Panera Bread.  This is a drop-in group, meaning that all you need to do is to print out up to 6 pages (double-spaced) of your current work-in-progress. Be sure to check attendance so you know how many to print out. We critique each piece in turn, aiming for delivering helpful feedback in a supportive environment. Thank you for your interest, hope to see you soon!

We are a scifi and fantasy writing fellowship. What does that mean? Well, I'll tell you my good reader... a group that meets once every two weeks to support each other's scifi and fantasy writing efforts with - editing, critiquing, discussing ideas or just encouraging our floundering efforts. We welcome any length piece of fantasy and science fiction. And be warned, as avid fans of fantasy and science fiction, you will be exposed to certain nerdishness and plenty of particular.

This group is for women who want to become better fiction writers.  If you have a novel you are working on and would like to improve it, this is the place to get excellent feedback.  This is not a drop-in critique group where you read whatever you have written to a bunch of strangers.  It is for serious writers.

I decided to start the group because I need critical readings of my work. I have professional experience reading the fiction of others, and I feel confident about reading yours with a critical eye. I want to be with people who are willing to participate in a structured experience.  We will email each other 1 to 2 pages--1,000 words limit--analyze these when we receive them, take our comments and address the writings in a circular manner at meetings--positive comments followed by suggestions--and …

This group needs you if you're a writer of the burning soul, burning midnight oil variety. If you're the type of writer that can't stop even if you wanted to. And maybe you do want to, but your manic passion and drive won't let you. We need writer's who pace the floor. Who are constantly constructing passages in their heads. We need scribblers who will do anything for fuel for their muse. We need alcoholics and substance abusers, brawlers and pervs. Zine makers, gonzo journalists, as well noveli …
