Thank you so much for looking at our group!

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 …

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 …

This is a group for anyone interested in fiction writing. Until the group is well establish a group we will start by a short writing exercise followed by an hour of writing.

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.

Happy New Year! As a non-fiction writer, I've been intrigued by the number of "Meetup" groups that have popped up in the tristate area under the name: "Shut Up and Write!" Most of these groups are in NYC but lately I've noticed a few in Montclair and Morristown. So I've decided to put some feelers out to see if the idea will work in my community. (You don't have to live in Maplewood or South Orange to join us.) The "Shut Up and Write!" Meetups are not a critique group or a writing class. They ar …
