The Speculative Collective is a writing critique group formed in 2008, which caters to all varieties of speculative fiction writing. Our group meets once monthly to share our science fiction, fantasy, or even more unusual writing with each other. Work is posted in advance, and then critiqued at the meetup by everyone in the group, from those just starting out to the more experienced, published writers in our group.
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 …

… With six writers, a meeting should run for about two hours. Simple, free, and friendly. This is not too complicated; it's just a writer's support group.
Writers mostly write. Besides writing, the second most important act is submitting. I'd like to meet once a month with a group of writers who are submitting their work. During this meeting we can exchange ideas about motivation, where to submit certain kinds of work and the mechanics of submitting material. We can map out strategies for submitting work and make committments to the group about the process.
