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.

Writers with no experience, enjoy a safe learning environment Writers who are stuck, enjoy the support of like-minded women Writers who are experienced, remember the thrill of the initial spark

This group is created for funny freakin' people that haven't yet been noticed because NYC is just TOO FREAKIN' FAR to perform regular open mics. Writer's, aspiring comic, sketch artist's (whatever the hell that means), anxiety disordered people looking to avoid medication, funny and not so freakin' people are all welcome. Even if your passion is simply to become an alcoholic, we can use you as material...

The purpose of this group is to provide a local meeting for writers to discuss the craft of writing, book marketing hints, and the publishing industry. For whatever reason (not for lack of attendance) the member dinners of the Authors Guild in Manhattan were ended some years ago. What happened there is what you might expect: agents hustled and writers lambasted them and publishers too. As one older writer observed to me: nothing has changed over the years. Except that now, with the introduction …

Are you a stand-up, sketch performer, comedy writer or story-teller? Do you want to test out your material before going to NYC? Do you post funny things on youtube, make virals or produce short comedic films? Do you want to do any of the above? Do you not want to perform and just love comedy? Want to try it, we'll show you how. The ORIGINAL and still the BEST! Other comedy groups have tried to be us, but our network of comics, fans and writers has been working together for over 2 years with 3 …

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!

Do you love the English language? Would you like to meet others for intelligent and lively discussion? Or would you like to practice and refine your English?

If you are a student, we will also provide resources to help you to reach your goals.

Creativity is having ideas that we bring into physical form. Each of us is given unique creative potentials. As Dr. Caroline Myss so wisely states, “Many people take the very limited view that creativity refers only to the arts, sciences and other noble pursuits. Creative expression is not only alive in our major projects, but also present in the normal course of everyday life -- how we organize our work space or our home, how we prepare our meals, or even how we structure our time.” Take Charge …
