The purpose of this group is to provide a supportive community for people who love to write but who can never seem to find the time when left to their own devices. This group will give deadlines that must be met and where peers can give constructive criticism and feedback to each other. Trade tips on overcoming writer's block, procrastination habits, and the like. As well as get together and discuss writing and books with others. Anyone who needs that extra incentive to sit down and write is enc …

I started this group to get in contact with other writers that live in the New York City area. It's nice to meet people who love to write! I want this to be a good community of writers who also would like to share their work and get feedback from others (no pressure). Also it is nice to meet for coffee and discussions, or just if you need someone to knock you out of Writer's Block/bounce ideas off of.

We meet on Thursday nights in Sandy Hook, typically, and occasionally on weekends. We are looking for fiction writers who are serious about their craft. You don't need a ton of experience, but you d …

This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published. Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract. While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …

I started this group because I love to read Sci-Fi and Fantasy books, but I rarely have anyone to discuss them with. I've only been in CT for a few months, and I would love to meet like-minded individuals that I can have fun with and also share my love for the fantastical.
