This is a new writing group for fans of, and writers of, the sci-fi and fantasy genres. If you would like to meet other writers close to home, please join us to share ideas, support each other in our writing goals, get feedback, and socialize. Our first meeting will be scheduled in January.  Details to follow. Let's start the New Year off as productive, inspired authors.

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? Would you like to have others read your writing or listen to your ideas and give you feedback? Would you like to give feedback to other writers about their stories? 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 …

Be sure to check attendance so you know how many to print out. We critique each piece in turn, aiming for delivering helpful feedback in a supportive environment.

Each weekly meet-up will be filled with discussion on the latest news from the publishing world and how it effects the market and our sales (or plan to sell). No matter if you are only ev …
