We will meet once a month for the purpose of reviewing each others work and helping each other become better writers. Novelists of any experience and genre are welcome.

We are poets and writers of short prose with a desire to share our work and derive motivation from the creativity of others. We are not a writing work shop or an avenue to publication. Although, in time we may become the basis for a local poetry magazine. For lack of a better description, we are "amateur" poets that are driven by our muse to give birth to the things we write and seek communion with others devoted to the creative process of putting words down on paper. Our mission is to bring loc …
