We are a scifi and fantasy writing fellowship. What does that mean? Well, I'll tell you my good reader... a group that meets once every two weeks to support each other's scifi and fantasy writing efforts with - editing, critiquing, discussing ideas or just encouraging our floundering efforts. We welcome any length piece of fantasy and science fiction. And be warned, as avid fans of fantasy and science fiction, you will be exposed to certain nerdishness and plenty of particular.

We're an autonomous collective of like-minded young (at heart) people who share a love of the arts and the creative process in general. I started this group because there are tons of us in this city, but for some reason, we all seem to be scattered or otherwise barred from connecting with one another in a meaningful way. So, I figured that even the littlest excuse can help bridge that gap. To read a makeshift manifesto for the group, click here: http://www.meetup.com/Twenty-Something-Artists-Wr …

Hi I am Aili. I just moved back to Seattle after living in New York for three years and graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. While I am living in Seattle I am working on a screen play. As you may know when you are writing a screenplay you spend a lot of time by yourself cooped writing; that being said, I have not met a lot of similar minded people yet. I thought it would be a great idea to have fellow aspiring screenplay writers\ novelist to meet over coffee or a glass of wine …

I started TPW in response to my own desire to investigate the opportunities in the world of travel photography and writing. Many people would love to have the job of a travel photography/writer, but very few are willing to "pay the dues" and learn the craft. Every guy with a camera (GWAC to professional photographers) thinks he can spend $5000 on equipment and immediately start raking in the dough as a photographer. The truth is, it's not about the camera. Give a great photographer a hundred do …
