Why I am deciding to start this group?I am in need of having the self-discipline to write on a consistent, high quality basis. Though there are other writer's circles I can join, I want to start one in my neighborhood of Florence in South/Southeast Los Angels and save time, money, and energy from having to drive half-way across town, through traffic, with exorbitant gas prices. Purpose of the group: simply come together once, twice a month, etc. and help one another support oneself in terms of a …

Thank you for your interest in the LA Writers Workshop! We focus on providing constructive critiques on work and require each member to bring projects in on a regular rotation.  As great as your story may be, our goal isn't to tell you how much we love it, its about letting you know what doesn't work. We currently have openings for another 2-5 members.

If you're a self-published author having difficulty selling or promoting your work, or you're a writer who's frustrated by organizers who've told you what you are and aren't allowed to write, or you'd like to write and self-publish but are intimidated by the process, SPACE is for you. My name is Martin, and I've bee …

Their material (script, outline, character bio, whatever) is emailed out to the group who reads it then brings coverage, notes or any ideas they think will help the writer. This rotates but when it's your turn, if you …
