IMPORTANT PARKING TIP:

There is a parking garage directly next to Barnes and Noble. However, the lower level is always packed and the entrance to the upper level is on the OTHER side of the block on Jefferson Street. This is the ideal place to park, as it is right next to B&N and simultaneously right next to Quigley's - our after-meeting socialization spot.

What members are saying

 If possible, it would be nice not to use group time to discuss better meeting venues. 

 Insightful, in-depth critiques and a great exchange of ideas in a positive, respectful atmosphere. 

What's Meetup? Find out!

Real groups make a real difference.

Meetup Groups meet face-to-face to pursue hobbies, network, get support, make friends, find playgroups or even change the world.

Get on the Internet to get off the Internet!

       Sue, I feel like I have the same bug that bit you at 45. Just turned 49 and have always thought that was my calling. I'd love to know more about how you started. Mike

      Hello all you creative minds. I been working in music which has involved film scoring. I have written short stories that I feel might materialize best in the film medium, so I wish to become a better writer in general. I am open to all ideas.

      Hello, All. I'm a writer who has been keeping it a secret for a long time. Lately, I've felt the need to be more involved in the writing community and become a published poet/writer. Nice to meet you all!
