Pre-published or published writers of any romance genre from any geographic area are invited to join New Jersey Romance Writers. We're a long-standing chapter of Romance Writers of America. Last year we celebrated our 25th anniversary. Today we are a chapter almost two hundred strong, writing in every romance genre imaginable. We would love to have you come and learn all about what being a member of NJRW can mean to your writing career. We welcome women - and men - who are serious about …

We are a bunch of aspirant writers who want to be critiqued and critique in a very supportive environment. We bring to the table every type of literary piece, from poetry-prose-fantasy-screen-whatever. No matter at what stage your work is, you are welcome to join. We realize that each person may have different needs. Some may be beginners; others may need encouragement in maintaining a writing schedule. We believe that we can be of support, and that writing does not have to be a lonely activity …

Not all creative people are looking for criticism.  Some just want inspiration, friends, and the chance to be creative with others who just get it.  While originally a writers' group, this group is going to tour great coffee houses, where members will have the opportunity to do art or writing alongside each other.  We'll be each others' cheerleaders on our journey, whether that be writing your memoir, standing in front of a microphone reading a poem or singing out loud, or just having friends to …

The Boonton NJ Writers Group is an established critique group seeking to add a handful of new members. Our members attend regularly and therefore develop an intimate understanding of each others' work - be it a short story, memoir, novel, or script. Although we love and admire poets, we don't critique poetry. The group meets twice a month on Wednesdays at 8 PM at the Empire Diner in Parsippany. Due to the format of this group where we review three writers often lengthy submissions every other we …

Hi - I am attending a critique group in Matawan, but in addition would like to find writers who may be nearer to Somerset, East Brunswick, somewhere in this area. I used to edit a small community paper in college, have written a few columns, and have finished the first manusript of a book on Spirituality. I am interested and available in critiquing anyone's work in nonfiction, and would love to find a partner or partners to do the same for mine! Even if its just 2 of us in this group, that's …

Writing, whether for fun or profit, can be a lonely business. That's why it's nice to have other writers to hang out with, share what we're working on and, basically, keep us company while we write. I often find it hard to stick with a writing assignment at home, and have often thought "Wouldn't it be great to have a writing buddy to work alongside, each on our own project?" That's what I hope Writing with Friends can be for us all. A way to set aside time to either meet and share, write just fo …

Like to laugh?  Come to a Funny People meetup (formerly Comedy Club) to meet other funny folk, make friends who love to laugh and love to make you laugh.  People who laugh are just fun to be around, and when times are tough, laughter can really be the best medicine.  We have dinners or coffee meetups, tell funny stories, go to see comedians, have comedy writers groups and improv nights, and if you work up the nerve, you can even try your hand at standup (completely optional!).  This group's been …

While most writing groups focus on sharing and critiquing work, the purpose of The Princeton Writing Group is simply to support the process of writing itself. Meetings provide the time and space to work individually on projects (books, scripts, poems, dissertations, etc.) in a group setting.  We will begin the meeting with some brief discussion, but the majority of our time together will be spent actually writing. As there will be no prompts or assignments, members should come with their own wor …

This is a new group I am starting hoping to find bloggers in my area who would like to meet and support each other in starting and promoting their blogs. The focus will be blogging with the hope of profit but anyone who has or would like to start a blog is welcome!
