The goal of this meet-up is to create an ongoing group of women writers that offer support and constructive suggestions regarding plot, dialogue, and character development.  This is not a …

Do you have ideas running through your mind all the time that you would like to put into a story that you might even be able to get published one day?

If yes, then this is the group for you. Who knows, maybe we'll even make some friends in the process of improving our writing. That sure sounds good to me. We'll write for the first 45 …

We are a scifi and fantasy writing fellowship. What does that mean?

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.

I am a painter, writer and dancer in the process of forming a co-operative house in which we can all share our skills with the group in order to create a nurturing and healthy home.

I am actively searching for the right home for this group and am p …

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 …

In five words or less: Nerdy Artists Hangout & Draw Comics! (does an ampersand count as a word? is "hangout" one word or two?) Our goal is to bring together people who want to make comics or video games to hang out over drinks and snacks, show off our latest works, share ideas and (of course) draw comics. Our attendees are comprised mostly of comic illustrators, with the occasional writer and game developer. We have had a few seasoned professionals at our table, but the vast majority of us do th …

Once a month we'll meet to discuss the current book selection, as well as select the book for the next month's reading. Everyone will get a chance to offer up their …

We take that seriously and hope that if and when you join our community, we get to meet you soon after. If our group were to have a mission statement, it would probably be along the lines of, "Dedicated to legitimizing the mystery novel as a form of literature...while at the same time indulging in our passion!" About us: …

House concerts and small venues are a great way to experience your favorite musicians in a more intimate and informal way. At a house concert there is no bad seat, because you are all just sitting in the living room while the musician plays just feet from you. Intermission usually includes chatting to the musician about what inspires them or why they wrote a particular song. There is usually shared food and a great opportunity to meet your fellow concert goers. Unlike big venues you really get t …

We moved from the Mercer Island Non-fiction books club - same group - different meetup account. Margalit is the organizer for this meetup (Sally owns the account).
