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 …

Hello everyone. I'm Eric Griffin. I am a gothic fantasy novelist. I haven't been published yet, but that will change. The purpose of this group is just what the name states. You don't have to be published to be a member, although having at least one published author in the group would be wonderful. I would, however, like to deal with writers who have been around the mountain enough times to employ a strong knowledge of technique and the fundamentals of novel writing. That way, each member …

This is a "close reading" book club. It will utilize a different format than most clubs. Most book clubs discuss a book in one session. There are a small number of "close reading" meetups around, in which members discuss a book over a large number of sessions. I am not starting the latter type of group, because I recognize that it will be hard to find time to attend, say, a dozen meetups about a single book. So the format of this meetup will be a COMBINATION of online message board discussion - …

We're an autonomous collective of like-minded young (at heart) people who share a love of the arts and the creative process in general. I started this group because there are tons of us in this city, but for some reason, we all seem to be scattered or otherwise barred from connecting with one another in a meaningful way. So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …

As most people know, people with English degrees* (writing, literature, undergrad, grad, even English minors), rarely are employed in our chosen field of awesome words and sentences. This creates some serious English-class withdraw, leading to awkward social situations when we reference obscure or archaic works of literature or theory, or try to analyze something to an absurd degree. "People with English Degrees, Reading Books" is an attempt to remedy this by providing an outlet for the English …

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, …

"The Mastermind alliance consists of two or more people who work in perfect harmony for the attainment of a definite purpose." This Meetup employs early 20th Century principles with an early 21st Century perspective.  Where Napoleon Hill was primarily concerned with business creation and growth, this meetup casts this into the "start-up" business metaphor of the Internet era; and it encompasses the social sphere of individual growth where a member might want to attain a personal goal.  Knowing t …
