THIS GROUP IS FOR SERIOUS WRITERS WHO WANT A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO READ THEIR WORK

Casual writing group started by participants of the National Novel Writer's Month (NaNoWriMo). After years of hosting November write-ins in the wonderful atmosphere of the JumpCut Cafe, we're making this a permanent, year-long group. The Mission: To Write & To Publish. To inspire people who have the creative fire burning in their soul yet cannot find the time or motivation in their daily trials and tribulations to see their dreams come true.

We are a group of young writers (under the age of 40) who meet periodically to discuss writing and encourage each other to write. Members can bring their own writing to share and receive feedback in a positive and supportive environment. All skill levels are welc …

This is a workshop for aspiring fiction writers to critique one anothers work in a friendly, supportive environment. Members submit a chapter or story every other week, and we critique two to three submissions each week. We are a small, tight-knit group that have been meeting for nearly two years, and we're looking for some new blood to replace some recently departed members. Here are some important things to consider before you apply: 1) We meet every Thursday evening for about an hour and a ha …

This group is for actors, directors, writers and theater lovers. We do live readings of great plays and scripts. In the process, we learn about new works, re-examine older works, stretch as participants and develop a deeper understanding of the creative process. Writers wishing to have a scene of their play or script performed must come to a first meeting and share pages with the performers prior to the second meeting so they have a chance to become familiar with the material. Then, at the secon …

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems.

We will meet every Sunday …

There is a seemingly endless supply of books on the writing craft, so instead of feeling guilty because I'm working or doing the laundry instead of reading an enlightening book on the craft, I thought I'd set up an actual monthly time and place to fulfill this need and have writers to talk to about the book! We will read everything from books on writing fiction to poetry to screenwriting. Whatever catches our fancy that month. I'd like to find organizers in several areas of the city, then we can …

Hi, Sadly so much of the genius and intellect in our society is wasted creating new, useless or even destructive needs in people in order to get them to part with their hard-earned money. Artists from all the humanities have been complicit in creating this dysfunctional society we live in. We all need to make a living, mouths to feed, etc., so I am not blaming the creatives in our society. But, I believe those with artistic talent or philosophical wisdom need to come together to help improve our …

What is "The Art of Active Networking" and why do we do it?

With so many people unhappy, searching for jobs, shifting jobs, building their business, practice or consultancy a …

There are already plenty of writers' groups, but most of them are geared toward hobbyists rather than toward writers who think big (I know because I used to belong to three of them).

My name is Martin, and I've bee …
