Are you committed to writing? We are looking for serious wordsmiths to join our critique group located in Montgomery County, Maryland. We meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month at 7pm in Olney, MD, at the Harris Teeter. Our meetings are about two hours in length. We have writers of different experience levels working in speculative, young adult, and dark fiction. We try to include a writing prompt at the end of every meeting.

A serious weekly writers group intended to encourage the writer to adopt a daily writing practice and to use the meetup group as a support group for feedback, an escape from isolation and with oppprtunities to publish once completed the manuscript or project.

This group is for support for the nonfiction writer.  We have very different needs than fiction writers which we can support each other on.   Like any other writers' group, we can pass around samples of our writing for critique and feedback. I write in the area of personal growth, but any nonfiction writing is welcome.

I'm an aspiring author. I intend to publish soon (fingers crossed)...but in the meantime, I need to finish my book.  I sincerely need to connect with other serious-minded fiction and non-fiction writers in Mitchellville, MD--to keep me focused. I discovered a few writers' groups in Virginia and lots in DC but want to stay in the MD suburbs so I don't have to venture too far from home on the weekends or after a long day's work. I'm serious about my craft and I'd like to meet with 7 to 9 folks twi …

We meet every first and third Wednesday evening of the month to exchange critiques of our writing. This is a group for dedicated writers of young adult and juvenile genres working towards publication.  

Are you writing a book or thinking about it? Are you published or wanting to publish? This group is for you if you are a writer at heart, regardless of where you are in your writing career and progress. I'm starting this group because I'm writing a non-fiction book, and I want to create a community of writers who will share their work and critique mine and each other's. The format I envision goes something like this: Who ever has material can either read their own out loud to the group or ask so …

I decided to start this group because I want to meet fellow aspiring writers looking for a circle of support, a safe place to share their writing and try out their works of memoir, novel, fiction, etc. to a supportive audience who can provide constructive feedback. Any aspiring writers in the D.C. area are welcome to join.

Are you working on a non-fiction book, article, script or blog? Are you a fiction author inspired by factual events? Join the Arlington Creative Non-Fiction Writers for constructive critiques and networking opportunities! In addition to constructive feedback, we're also here to support each other in researching, writing, selling and publicizing our projects. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month. Join us at the Corner Bakery (2111 Wilson Blvd) just steps from the Courthouse Metro!

A group of fiction writers from Frederick (and beyond!) who want to workshop their writing on bi-weekly basis. This group is for those wanting to express themselves through writing (novels, short stories, screenwriting, and what have you). Together, we’ll learn to improve our craft. We’ll share what we have written, get ideas, and grow as a group. All fiction writers, regardless of experience, are welcome. There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed. -- Ernest H …

Our group consists of writers at all levels of writing experience. Our meetings are held on the first Saturday (at 11:00 a.m.), the third Saturday (at 11:00 a.m.), and the fourth Tuesday (at 7:00 p.m.) of each month. Even though our meetings take place at restaurants, there is never any pressure to order food.  We usually have about 5-10 people in attendance at each meeting.  Hope you can join us soon!

We are a fun and supportive group of writers living in and around Northern Virginia. All skill levels and all types of writing are represented: novels, poetry, lyrics, short stories, non-fiction, children's stories, and more! We meet every Wednesday at 7pm in a room at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington.  Meetings generally last about 2 hours and are either sessions designed to provide feedback on members' work, or a workshop session aimed at a specific element of writing. Check the Calenda …

Meet other local writers and offer one another feedback in a relaxed environment. Members bring at least one hard copy of their work in completed first drafts of stories (both fictional and non-fictional and everything in between). Someone in the group (not the writer) will read the story aloud. Stories should be no longer than about 2,000 words (about 8 pages) and can be as short as a fraction of a page as long as it feels complete.  The workshop will meet for two hours, approximately. There is …

The Washington DC Write to Publish Group is unlike most writers’ groups which focus on critiquing each other’s work. Instead this group is dedicated to the "business side" of writing and educate authors (and would be authors) on what they can expect as they go from finished project to available for sale. Much of what is covered in these seminars can also be found online here: http://www.write2publish.blogspot.com/ The “sessions” generally are done as a lecture with plenty of Q&A. They are …

Have you always thought about writing a book, screenplay, blog, anything? If so, then join us as we meet up in locations around the Loudoun County area and put our creative juices to good use! The purpose of this group is to create a supportive network of aspiring authors. It's a lonely world out there when you write, and we all know we can be our own worst critic. As a group we can encourage each other to meet our goals as well as help each other when necessary. If you are looking to complete a …

The purpose of the group is for local writers to be able to gather and receive constructive criticism of their writing. The group includes several published authors in fiction, science fiction, fantasy and alternate history. I would prefer any new members to be mature adults; this is not to dissuade teens from writing, but rather to encourage them to form or join writing groups aimed at their demographic. I want this group to feel free to write and discuss possibly mature themes and writing genr …
