I am starting this group because I know there are other writers in the northern Monmouth County area who are looking for an outlet to share their work, a chance to engage in writing workshops, and the opportunity to meet and network with other writers. This group is open to any and all kinds of writers engaged in all genres - from professionals, freelancers, hobbyists and creative dreamers.

In the oldest tradition of writers groups from the past The Inklings, The Bloomsbury Group, Algonquin Round Table, Shakespeare And Company Writers and Ciao Domenica (i.e. In 1816 Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley spent a summer with Lord Byron, John William Polidori, and Claire Clairmont creating some of the most important fiction in the English language.) I will spring for the first bottle of absinthe and it will be Pernod (not kidding I know a guy). Painters, Writers, Musicians, Muses, models and …

It's hard to stay motivated. You want to write, but you also want to sleep on the couch or just have a drink. And it's hard to meet people. You want to say hello, but you also want to listen to a podcast or just have a drink. The Brooklyn Writers Club is about writing and meeting people. It's about being accountable, motivated and social. We'll meet on a weekly or a semi-weekly basis. We'll say hello, then spend a solid hour working on our own projects. It'll be fun and productive. Or we'll ju …

So I majored in Creative Writing in college and loved my workshop classes. I vowed to find one after I graduated so that I kept up with my writing. That was over three years ago. I have not been in any writing workshops since and my writing has been getting less and less. Sound familiar? If you are an aspiring writer, love to write to release stress or just like to write as a hobby, but don't really find yourself motivated, then join my group. I love to write, but I feel that its too hard to do …

Welcome to Staten Island writers! Meetups will start with a writing prompt which members will have 20 or so minutes to write. They will then be read, but this isn't obligatory. Afterwards, we will review someone's writing and take turns offering them constructive feedback. Members can either bring in copies of their writing or upload it in the files section so others can review it prior to the meetup.

This group was created for new parents, and parents of young children, who are trying to find at least a small amount of time to indulge their passion while devoting themselves to the demanding tasks of new parenthood. You’ll meet many other parents just like you who share a love for theater and/or writing and who long to connect with people in the same situation. We try to meet once a month – at Prospect Park when weather permits – or at the Tea Lounge or similar public space. Meetings may also …

The best way to improve your writing is to be part of a small, motivated, ambitious group of peers interested in helping make everyone's work better; fellow writers at similar stages of their careers who understand offering helpful criticism and receiving it in return benefits everyone. This group is for capable writers of fiction novels, at least 21 years of age, published or unpublished, but not yet masters of the craft.

Sure, writers join writer's groups, actors join actor's groups, directors take the credit, and producers . . . well, they produce, but has anyone thought to hold a recurring party where people who work in different aspects of film can mingle and get to know each other? I started The NYC Filmmaker's Karaoke Group to create a fun place for people who work in film -- that means you set designers, makeup artists, and production assistants -- to meet and mingle with other film professionals. Anyone …

I started this group to get in contact with other writers that live in the New York City area. It's nice to meet people who love to write! I want this to be a good community of writers who also would like to share their work and get feedback from others (no pressure). Also it is nice to meet for coffee and discussions, or just if you need someone to knock you out of Writer's Block/bounce ideas off of.

I adore books written by great contemporary and recent writers such as Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Margaret Atwood, Flannery O'Connor, Amy Tan, Jhumpa Lahiri, Zora Neale Hurston, Carson McCullers, Louise Erdrich, Grace Paley, Alice Walker, Nadine Gordimer, Jeanette Winterson, Barbara Kingsolver, Bharati Mukherjee, and Isabel Allende to name just a few. There are many, many more... Let's get together to read, discuss and celebrate these brilliant women over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and …

I'm an MFA candidate in creative writing who has recently studied under a fantastic teacher at the top of the comics industry. I have a few books in development, and I'm looking to get together with other creatives in the field. Ideally, this group will put WRITERS together with ARTISTS and hopefully lead to kickstarting some new comics, publishing through Comixology's new indie publishing arm, and/or putting pitches together for big name houses including Image, Vertigo, etc. Think of it as a wa …

Whether you are an ARTIST or an ART LOVER I'd like to welcome you to the ARTBEAT, my storefront studio in Rahway's up and coming Arts District.

Do you want to be the Matador of your own Bull Shit? Unleash the creative animal within you and run wild with it, dance with it and duel with it on paper for an hour.

This is just a group of folks who will get together on a monthly basis to write on a topic decided last moment that night. For one hour we will write continuously, while perhaps sniffing and swirling wine. At the …
