Two of us - a gay male writer and a lesbian female writer - decided to create a group for LGBTs who are serious about their writing, and want to share their work in an environment that understands and celebrates LGBT literature. The purpose of the group is to support each other's writing endeavors through positive encouragement, thoughtful critique and celebration. The format is biweekly meetings during which we discuss the work of two or three writers, depending on length of submissions. We'll …
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.

Writing can be lonely existence. Sometimes, it's good to get out from behind the keyboard, see the sun and take a moment to talk to others who feel your pain, know your highs and lows and can offer support and guidance. The Westchester Writers Round Table is open to anyone who has decided to take the plunge and work on the craft of becoming a writer. It doesn't matter whether you've just finished your first chapter or have published a dozen books. Whether you write mysteries, children's books, h …

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 …

This writer’s circle will also educate you through workshops and speakers. You’ll be able to exchange …

This group was started in 2003 with the intent ot providing a caring mutually-supportive community of writers of all levels, from beginner to professional. The format of the meeting is for each member to produce no more than two typewritten, double-spaced pages (often responding to a prompt provided by the leader), and to bring enough copies for all members of the meetup. For the first half-hour we read each other's copy and make comments. Then we go around and deal with each writer in turn g …

As a published writer of non-fiction (essays, op-eds, books), I know the importance of networking with other writers to ensure we carve out time to write, as well as to critique each others' work. The mission of this group is to do both, whether we write about gay issues or not. The goal is therefore to build a supportive and accepting environment to share our work, and provide constructive criticism. You need not be a published writer...just LOVE TO WRITE!

I'm interested in forming a group of serious, non-fiction writers for Bergen County. We can meet up once a month and discuss outlines or read selections of drafts. Anybody who is currently working on a non-fiction article, essay or book should join. If we get enough members, then we can arrange various sub-genre groups -- academic writing, blogging, news, sports, feature writing. Don't write alone! Write with us.

When I was looking for members to join an established writing group of which I am part, I found there were many people who wanted a group for the beginning or novice writer. I started this group for those who might be intimidated by authors they feel are further along in their writing. I will be facilitating the group by giving writing assignments and exercises to those who would like them. I will also guide the group in their critiques which can be helpful to new writers and new groups in gen …
Writing Hemingway/Fitzgerald We are a group of serious minded writers focused on publishing our work; socializing takes place outside the meetup time. Members rarely miss a meetup. We keep in small groups where everyone knows your name and you are an integral part of the discussions. Nobody is meant to feel like they are a beginner or an outsider. We are one of the few groups that meet at an urban writers colony in Manhattan. This gives us exposure to many successful writers who publish …
