Someone recently said, poetry is not meant to be read quietly, but to be listened to. So just like in the Dead Poets Society movie, I would like to meet with people who also love poetry, love to read it aloud, love to perform it, love to talk about it and love to write it. - Let's come together sharing poems and why they touch us the way they do.

We are a writing critique group specifically geared toward people working on novels. Most of our members are writing sci fi/fantasy, but we are open to writers working in other genres. If you are primarily a poet or a playwright, we are not the group for you. We intentionally keep our membership small so that every member of the group can submit writing to every meeting. As a result, we are all very familiar with each others' work. We seek members who are committed to providing honest, constru …

Always wanted to write, but can't get started? Stuck midway through a project? Writers need time devoted to the doing, and this group aims to set aside and protect that time. Unlike other writing groups that mainly critique manuscripts or give prompts for writing at home, we focus on generating new writing during the meeting. During our gatherings in a quiet setting, we will write exercises and offer feedback without damaging writing or writers. Those with a piece in progress may choose either t …

Our focus is on identifying good and bad examples of critical thinking, so that we can hone our own powers of observation, inquiry and deduction.  We discuss, critique and attack ideas, but not people or personalities.  Please be respectful of others and ideas different from your own. They might prese …

We desire to tell our stories as we live out the gospel of Jesus in the triangle. This is a group for anyone who is interested in writing on a blog, a book, or submitting articles for publication. We will encourage each other in our writing, have a chance to read from what we are currently working on, and critique each other's work. We also desire to have quarterly guest speakers.

This is a group for anyone who enjoys reading or writing long-form or book-length works of nonfiction. If you enjoy long-form feature writing in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, or Esquire... or books by authors like Laura Hillenbrand, Rebecca Skloot, Bill Bryson, David Sedaris, Malcolm Gladwell, or Gay Talese, this would be a meetup for you. I'm looking forward to monthly meetups to read and discuss great nonfiction. Sometimes we'll read and discuss an article or two; other times, a nonfiction boo …
