This group's aim is to connect local creative non-fiction women writers to form "writing buddy" partnerships. Published and aspiring writers are welcome to join. Some people have asked what creative nonfiction is. I'd refer people to two excellent books on the topic, although there are many others out there. Lee Gutkind's You Can't Make This Stuff Up, and Adair Lara's Naked, Drunk and Writing are two books that every CNF writer and aspiring writer should check out. Creative Nonfiction Magazine i …

This is a group for those who already have an idea and may or may not have started, or for those who have a finished piece but need to refine it. The group's primary aim is to offer support for the writing process in a informal and friendly atmosphere. We offer feedback, but we are not about ripping somebody's work to shreds and bruising their confidence, that's the job of literary agents and publishers once your work is finished, and besides we want people to come back for more meetings!

We will meet once a week (most weeks) with the intention of writing and sharing. Writing and editing are two separate activities which are often done at the same time: we mentally cross out words and dismiss ideas before they even make it to the paper. This is not an editing and critiquing group but a writing group. For many people, the simple act of showing up and writing is enough. For others, it will be a means of creating first drafts or potential areas to explore further. The group is suita …
