Imagine, create, and build through the power of words and the stories they conjure up. This group is aimed at broadening the spectrum in Black literature. What is your story? His story? Her story? OUR story? Don't leave this world without telling it. Bring an ear, an open mind, and share your spices of wisdom with a group of writers open for constructive criticism and creative suggestion.  Welcome all who wish to embrace and celebrate writers of color be it fiction, nonfiction, or poetry.

As a non-published, non-professional creative writer I decided to start offering writing workshops to foster love of writing in others. You don't have to know where to put a comma or what a conjunction is in order to use writing as a tool for personal expression.   We all tend to get swamped with everyday responsibilities, stresses and work.  As critical as the two out of three of them are we also need time for ourselves.  Time to nurture our love of writing.   Once a month we'll hold a themed w …

This group was started in 2007 by Janice Wilson and has continued strong since. Join us for coffee and writing talk on the third Thursday of every month! PLEASE NOTE: This is not a group to "teach" you about writing, nor to give you answers for all of your writing questions. We are low key and laid back, from all backgrounds, all genres, and all levels of experience. Our focus is on the needs of the writers who attend the group--addressing questions or uncertainties, inspiring and motivating, gi …

The purpose of the Writers Group is bringing like-minded people together and share a passion for writing scripts and screenplays. If you have an idea for TV or a movie and want to write, this is for you. Even if you haven't finished the first draft, come talk about story development, characters, dialogue, structure, and scenes. We believe writers need to be around people who "get them" for support and inspiration. The Writers Groups offers feedback, discusses writing habits (what works and what …

I'm running an 8-week (one evening per week) fiction workshop for writers who want detailed feedback on their work from an experienced teacher, writer, and editor. Classes will be held in South Philadelphia, and capped at 10 participants, on a first-come, first-served basis. Each week we'll critique each others' work, talk about various craft issues (like point of view, story structure, etc.), all with an eye toward eventual publication. I'm a lecturer at Temple University, where I teach creativ …

We are a diverse group of conscious thinkers, readers of multicultural literature and/or writers with a purpose. In the Literary Tea Room events, we will come together to sit back, relax and unwind with a cup of herbal tea (sometimes food) and chat about books, writing, and using  the literary arts as a tool for social change and justice. We will have functions in various venues throughout Philadelphia to incorporate the "power of place" as a means of stimulating our creative thoughts and ideas. …

As artists, we spend most of our creative time alone. Creating art is a very singular, solitary task. With "The Artist's Way" as a guide, we can create a community of support and encouragement. The following quote from the author's website sums it up: "When The Artist's Way was first published, I expressed a wish for Artist’s Way groups to spring into being. I envisioned them as peer-run circles—“creative clusters”—where people would serve one another as believing mirrors, uniting with the …
