I love to write. I know there are other people who love to write along the shoreline area too. Let's get together to explore our creative souls and support each other through this sometimes lonely process. All skill levels are welcome. Please bring enough copies to share with the group. I am looking forward to meeting new writers and learning about their creative methods.

This is a workshop for a group of Long Island fiction writers, who get together once-a-month to critique each others work. Essentially, we discuss what we like about a piece, and what we think can be improved. The emphasis is on nurture: how one writer can help another via thoughtful comments and suggestions. Everyone's manuscripts (2,500 words max) are traded via email one week prior to the meeting, then printed out and "marked up" with comments and suggestions. If you're a fiction writer on Lo …

Typically we meet every two weeks to work and support each other. Though we occasionally post online, this is a face-to-face meetup group. This group is for any of these and more: If you're working on a piece, we'll help you with ideas and your writing process. If you're blocked or are having trouble writing, we'll work on what's getting in the way. If you've written and want to get published, we'll find out what the next step is (including self publishing). We'll talk about - who your favorit …

When I was looking for members to join an established writing group of which I am part, I found there were many people who wanted a group for the beginning or novice writer. I started this group for those who might be intimidated by authors they feel are further along in their writing. I will be facilitating the group by giving writing assignments and exercises to those who would like them. I will also guide the group in their critiques which can be helpful to new writers and new groups in gener …

This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published. Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract. While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …

Originally started as a critique group in 2009 it has grown into more than that. We do not believe in writing by committee but we do believe a group of individuals that are dedicated to challenging each other and working collaboratively will produce better fiction than each of us would do on our own. We meet on Thursday nights in Sandy Hook, typically, and occasionally on weekends. We are looking for fiction writers who are serious about their craft. You don't need a ton of experience, but you d …

An ongoing group of writers that meets every Monday night at a restaurant in White Plains. Two people submit every week and the group reviews their work and discusses it at the meeting. Meetings are usually two hours. A writer will on average submit once a month. Before being admitted to the group, we require a writing sample. Any representative work will be fine.  It doesn't have to be long.

The Stratford Scribes is a group of Fairfield County writers serious about the creation and publication of their craft.

The thing Artists and Activists have in common is a passion for their work. I hope to mesh these passions in this group. Art, political and social activism have long been happy bedfellows. Think of Picasso’s Guernica Night, Susan Crile’s Abu Graib series, and more locally to Connecticut, the Cycle of Terror and Tragedy, September 11 by Graydon Parrish housed at the New Britain Museum of American Art. As they say, a picture says a thousand words and what better way to convey these kinds of messag …

There are many contests out there. I'm looking to put a group of people who want to expand their network while learning more by doing. This isn't a boring talk only group. All are welcome that have a pure desire to act, write scripts, or improve their video photography skills. We want laid back people who are great team players. We are going to keep things simple at first. But we definitely need actors, script writers, storyboard artist, lighting staff, stage managers, costume designers, art dir …

Calling all would-be and actualized writers for stage and screen! Calling all improv'ers, actors, and those who are interested in trying dramatic improv for the first time! **** We also need a videographer **** The Plan: Writers come with the basics of a scene they have in mind. They know what takes place and who the characters are. It can be any genre. The actors (the writers themselves can be actors, if they wish) take the stage and improv the scene, following the plot points that the writer h …

I started this group because I love to read Sci-Fi and Fantasy books, but I rarely have anyone to discuss them with. I've only been in CT for a few months, and I would love to meet like-minded individuals that I can have fun with and also share my love for the fantastical.

Seeking to assemble a group of people interested in creating an open and safe space to read, write, and share poetry.
