A Book Club for bookaholics from the Ghetto/Bronx/Hood (yes, us punks and hipsters from the 'under-appreciated' part of town are ready, willing and able to read - don't look so shocked!) with an Incurable Love for Literature (and the like). Preliminary investigations have lead us to conclude that there is a lack of (if any) established institutions/societies/communities/clubs (whatever you want to call it) in the South Western Sydney region where bookaholics can congregate and have meaningful an …

For book lovers who are either interested in gay fiction, or are readers in the LGBT community, and want to socialise with other book lovers. I'm new to the Western Sydney (Parramatta) area and would love to create a book club to encourage reading of gay fiction, but also to get together with other bookish folk who are either gay or gay friendly. So far nothing is set and I'm open to ideas of how to run it, what to read, where to have it, and all the other fun things behind creating a book club. …

Calling long distance writers who want to join others on the writer's journey. Working on a memoir, novel, script or non fiction book can be a long and lonely process. We hold monthly Draft Buster meetings in Sydney for writers of all genres, all levels of experience. Here you can receive guidance and feedback through all the stages of your work in a supportive group atmosphere. Each month we focus on different areas of writers craft which you can apply to your writing project no matter what sta …

[Note: I started this group after discovering the awesome Writer Together group while living in London. I've copied much of their setup when creating this group for Sydney and I heartily suggest you check them out if you're ever in Ol' London Town] Writing can be difficult and lonely. Sometimes we need to get out and away from our own distractions and excuses. Pubs, cafes and parks are nice but wouldn't it also be good to be part of a group of writers? So let's work quietly together, gently enc …

A group of writers living on the Central Coast, NSW. Meeting the second Tuesday night of every month at Ettalong Beach, NSW. Writing support, inspiration, motivation, workshops, critiquing. The group is open to all genres and all levels of writing. Once there are enough members we can then split into smaller focus groups. At present there are around 10 members. I am hoping that this meetup application will extend the arm a little further.

A group where we can share our work, tips, thoughts on our pieces that we are working on.

Gleebooks’ Book Talks and Politics In The Pub are two of Sydney’s great institutions for the thoughtful and the curious. Having attended both for many years, I think there should be a meetup for others to do the same as a group. This meetup is for people who wish to attend talks given by authors and writers about books and/or politics. A number of other bookshops and libraries hold book talks as well. Any member may suggest an event like this, anywhere in Sydney Metro. And of course, the Sydney …

This is a group for those who want to join a book club but don't want to travel into the city.  We will meet somewhere around St George or Sutherland Shire and are open to suggestions.  Also as many book clubs meet at night, I thought it would be great to have one that meets during the day.  Mostly we meet once a month on a Sunday as this has in the past proved to work for most people. So we get to read different genres, each member takes a turn to pick the book of the month. What could be bette …

Meet other local Star Trek fans! I do most of my Star Trekking via the Internet and email these days, but you still can't beat meeting new fans face-to-face. We have made some great friends through Meetup, and Star Trek fandom in general. Please join us!

It's a friendly group of welcoming people who love to get together over a book and let the discussion and good times go from there. There's a great core of regulars and always new additions each month who bring their own suggestions and love of reading. We are always welcoming and friendly to new people and ensure they have a good time. We try to fold in book events, readings and authors visiting, smaller clusters of people who are writers, or like specific genres as well - If you have any sugge …

Whether it’s easier for you to engage with us online or off, Writers Bloc is for writers, wherever you are. We are in the process of developing a website that will change the way that writing is shared. It will reward engaged feedback and elevate great prose. Offline, in towns all across the country we have groups that operate as part of a larger bloc. …

Hi, I've decided to start up this group as I love reading and I think it would be great to meet like-minded women who live "over the bridge" in Sydney ; lower north / NorWest/ Parramatta and would like to have a good read and engage in healthy debate over a glass of wine and nice nosh, or a coffee and piece of cake. We don't want to get too formal, but the "rules" are that one person chooses a book (can be anything, the more varied the better!) and we all read it before meeting up. The meet woul …

We're a group of dorky mostly 20s- and 30s-somethings who have found Sydney's nerd scene lacking and decided to create our own!  We're a fun-loving group that unselfconsciously pals doing nerdy, geeky, dorky, and otherwise interesting things. Board game nights, lecture series with post-lecture pub discussions, trivia, games day and picnicking in the park, laser tag, star-gazing, esoteric tax debates over cake, Star Wars Burlesque, movie marathons.... lim f(x)=sky We aim to get together 4-6 times …

Our meetings include feedback on members' work, as well as topics on writing and discussions about our favourite books and authors. At the moment we are getting ready for our first group's meetings, but we'll be creating other groups as more members join, so there'll always b …

The Last Tuesday Book Club is an informal group of reading fans who catch up monthly in inner city Sydney to eat/drink and chat about a good book. We are mainly 30-something professionals, who enjoy reading a wide range of fiction. Our meet ups are a chance to talk about our latest read (pre-chosen) while checking out pubs/restaurants once a month in the City, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, and eastern suburbs areas.

This group is about reading a chosen fictional book that's controversial/classic/historical/cultural or anything we just want to read and then meeting up every 6 weeks or so over dinner to discuss. We will take it in turns to be host. Each meeting we will reconvene at the hosts choice of venue for dinner; either their house or their favorite restaurant. The host can suggest a few books of their choice and then the group will pick a book.

The aim of the Sydney Memoir Writers Group is to provide support and exchange ideas with other writers who are interested in finding out how to avoid the traps & pitfalls associated with writing a life story. To tell an authentic life story we need to go beyond the facts and events to find the realities that have actually shaped who we are. Often this truth can be quite unpalatable, but it can also be the most compelling reading. To share our experiences we first need to see how our family histo …

However, all ages are welcome. We`ll mostly be meeting at cafes, pubs, & gardens in the city & (sometimes we meet elsewhere such as at a beach) on the first and third sat afternoon of the month, & will consider fiction …

Ever felt that smug glow of satisfaction when watching a film adaptation of a novel you've read, basking in the knowledge that you're fully aware of the hero's pet dog's name even though it was never once mentioned in the movie?!? Welcome to the club! This group is a hybrid mix of a book club and a movie fan club. We read a new book every month, whether it be a classic work of fiction or a more contemporary novel, and then we meet up to watch its film adaptation at a cinema in the city. We then …

G'day, and welcome to Sydney's first Transmedia based meetup group. Exciting isn't it? For those of you who don't know what transmedia is, here is the definition as taken from www.henryjenkins.org "Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of t …
