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 …

Welcome to Eastside Sci-Fi and Fantasy Writers. We are a group of local writers who enjoy meeting once or twice a month at third place books or a local library to give each other support and encouragement in order to continue writing.  Feel free to join us at any time, and please post a sample of your writing before each meeting so we can read it before hand. That can be a bit of a time saver. Come to the meetings equipped with hard copies of your writing, the willingness to help others and a se …

Writers have a solitary art, and we get together to share inspiration and offer help.

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.

The goal of this meet-up is to create an ongoing group of women writers that offer support and constructive suggestions regarding plot, dialogue, and character development.  This is not a …

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?

This is a place to share ideas and stories with other authors. It is open to writers of all experience and skill levels.

Writers who work in any style (drama, poetry, comic books) are also welcome in our group. Members shoul …

A meeting in New Westminster every second Wednesday from 7-10 PM effective Sept 5, 2012 with stories ready for critiquing by a valiant band of fellow, aspiring scribes. The mission is to get us writers out of our chairs (or into our chairs, rather) and put pen to paper. And moreover, to get our work primed and ready for publication. Plenty of great writers knew each other from their own writers' groups (Ginsberg, Kerouac and Burroughs anyone?) and there is a reason why they became great. Because …

Hosted by a local publisher, WIP is a monthly event for writers to share their work, learn new craft-related skills, get up to date information on publishing, and meet fellow artists for collaboration (and commiseration). Both the venue and format will shift, so every meetup will be different. One month it'll be a pitch workshop at a cafe in Queen Anne, the next a short story critique session at a pub in Columbia City. We've even been known to combine readings with live music, drinks, and good f …
