The Tucson Writers Workshop & Meetup group is a community that supports and encourages its members by sharing knowledge, information and feedback about the writing life and the business of writing.

The art and craft of writing can be learned in many ways, but is often a lonely pursuit. Ho …

We are WRITERS who believe in the ART and the CRAFT of poetry.  We acknowledge  there is a time to be solitary and a time to bring our work to the light and to audience.  We are interested in reading and publishing and finding larger audiences as well. We share new work, giving and recieving helpful feedback from colleagues.  We ask for honest helpful critisism and an acknowledgement of standards. By gathering we strive to create community and opportunities for performance and publication.

We are two writers forming a monthly book group that will discuss fiction from the higher end of the literary spectrum. Like most writers, we are obsessed with scene changes, dialogue and great chapter openings. At meetings, we will look at pieces of literary prose fiction (novels and short stories) that have gained critical acclaim for their authors’ skill at creating compelling narrators, structuring plots, and fleshing out engaging characters. We will discuss craft (narrative voice, dialog …

As a seasoned writer, blogger, and some …
