As a non-published, non-professional creative writer I decided to start offering writing workshops to foster love of writing in others. You don't have to know where to put a comma or what a conjunction is in order to use writing as a tool for personal expression. We all tend to get swamped with everyday responsibilities, stresses and work.  As critical as the two out of three of them are we also need time for ourselves.  Time to nurture our love of writing. Once a month we'll hold a themed wor …

The purpose of the Writers Group is bringing like-minded people together and share a passion for writing scripts and screenplays. If you have an idea for TV or a movie and want to write, this is for you. Even if you haven't finished the first draft, come talk about story development, characters, dialogue, structure, and scenes. We believe writers need to be around people who "get them" for support and inspiration. The Writers Groups offers feedback, discusses writing habits (what works and what …

A fun and light-hearted social writer's group for women. We are primarily women of color but all are welcomed. We meet in various spots in Philly where we eat, chat, bring our own bottles (in some cases), write, share and develop our storytelling styles. A constant flow of encouragement is in the air as we inspire one another to continue reaching writing goals.

We are independent workers: freelancers, entrepreneurs, virtual employees, technology professionals, writers, designers, small business owners, and other smart professionals who have given up our cubicles for home offices.  We live and work in Chester County, Montgomery County, and the Western Philly Burbs. We get together to work, to socialize, and to share our experiences. We use this network to collaborate, give advice, make job recommendations, and help one another become better at what we d …

As artists, we spend most of our creative time alone. Creating art is a very singular, solitary task. With "The Artist's Way" as a guide, we can create a community of support and encouragement. The following quote from the author's website sums it up: "When The Artist's Way was first published, I expressed a wish for Artist’s Way groups to spring into being. I envisioned them as peer-run circles—“creative clusters”—where people would serve one another as believing mirrors, uniting with the …
