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.

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 …

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! Membe …

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.

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.

Looking to meet a person or couple of people who already have solid screenwriting experience and who who can give quality feedback on other writers' works. Maybe this can be a once a week thing or a twice a month thing. Who knows? I'm a Wellesley woman and a UCLA MFA film school grad currently located on the Yale campus, and wanting to start a network for devoted screenwriters. This can be a sort of accountability group, where we push each other to excel and, most importantly, to finish our scri …
