The Pittsburgh Writers Meetup Group

"Hello Friends, I am Deborah. I have recently published "Journey to the Arks: A Mission to Save Humanity" via Authorhouse, a self-publishing company. The book is a tribute to mankind. I am excited to hear from area authors and to share in your pas"

"We had planned on being there tonight. I have been looking forward to it for a month! Today was just one of those days. First it was a rough day.....Second, I wasn't feeling well... and today was so..."

"Hi I am a writer from the Pittsburgh area. Well actually I'm a transplant from South Carolina. I'm writing my first script and I'm at the very early stages. I just wanted to meet more writers who might be able to advise or guide. "

"HELLO! My name is Alyssa. I have been writing since I was eighteen, though I have it has really taken a backseat to my family for the last four years. I hope to find support that I need to get rolling again."

" I am a licensed counselor with 25 years experience. I have used writing and drama as a tool my entire career. I finished my first book 2 years ago but have not had any luck getting published. I graduated from Point Parks theater program in 1973"

"what a great group! i hope to learn a lot."

"hey everyone... just seeing what's out there - hope to attend a meeting soon!"

"Wow, sounds like you have a great base. Welcome to our group, let us know what we can do for you! :)"

"Hey Todd, welcome to our group! I am also new to Pittsburgh and our family hopes to be here for quite a long time. Good luck and hope to see you at a meeting!"

"Howdy Ashley Marie! Welcome to our meetup group. Be sure to fill out your profile and let us know how we can help."

"Welcome Jude! I completely relate to your "goof" comment. I feel that way a lot. Hope to meet you at the next meeting. Good luck with your writing!"

"Hi John and welcome! I have to say I am jealous of your time alloted to writing! :) Hope you come to the next meeting and good luck with your basketball column!"

"I'm still having trouble calling myself a writer, but I do hope to be one when I grow up. I stumbled into my own column about basketball officiating, and I'm hoping to use that as a platform to explore some other ideas I've had in the hopper."

"Welcome to the group! Hope to see you at our next meeting."

"I've spent years writing for myself and piling notebooks in the closet. I'm ready to start getting some of my writing read. I've had some luck so far- a chapbook of short fiction being published and a poem or two, & some paid freelance non-fiction. "

"This morning I awoke with words in my head. I promptly took 15 minutes and wrote a song for my sister in CA. (she is the one in a popular band from San Diego...). I just got an email saying she was "blown..."

"I'm not really a writer, mostly just a goof. I thought I'd try joining a writing group and see what happens."

"Am looking forward to joining a group since writing has been a struggle recently. I thought the group dynamic would be a badly needed shot in the arm."

"I'm a web designer and developer, and I take pride in my communication skills. A few people have asked if I'd ever consider writing something, and though I'm definitely slanted toward sci-fi, I think this will be a great way to get some practice."

"I want to write my second novel after two decades of not writing novels. I wrote the first mostly in chemistry class as I didn't want to waste my time actually listening to my teacher. "
