Welcome. This is a group for people who write science fiction and fantasy and people who want to write science fiction and fantasy. We welcome all skill levels as long as the group rules are adhered to.

Read a good book. Meet new and interesting people who've read it too. Feed your brain...and your stomach. For a list of our past reads, please see the calendar or the photo album. Our focus is on finding worthwhile literature and still covering a variety of eras, countries and fiction (and once in a while, non fiction) genres. We try to find books that are a manageable length (200-350 pages) and that make us think. (Our members are well-educated, but note that the majority of us do not have e …

Would like to invite professional women, 30+, to join this new chic-lit Book Club. We will meet once a month for dinner in Manhattan, for fun and of course, for book discussion. Looking for the group to be the same women each time - not rotating like other book clubs.

… We don't intend to replace our time in the WORD with fiction - we enjoy and appreciate how God is everywhere. There are two to three selections of readings through the month, and a social gathering. (Please note that you do note have to read all of the books for the month, unless you would like to :-)) There are also special events that you are welcome to enjoy and hopefully meet with other like-minded groups. Come to laugh, share stories, share God and make new friends!

Where fiction and memoir writers can meet to share their work and encounter constructive or challenging ideas about that work.

Originally this group was centered on horror but as time went on it seemed right to include both mystery and science fiction. There's this misconception that horror movies are only effective if they have a certain level of violence or gore, similar to what you might find with the Saw franchise. Films such as the Blair Witch Project, The Others and Paranormal Activity however, prove otherwise. When the audience has to conjure their own interpretation to an event based on what's implied or not vis …

Writing can be lonely existence. Sometimes, it's good to get out from behind the keyboard, see the sun and take a moment to talk to others who feel your pain, know your highs and lows and can offer support and guidance. The Westchester Writers Round Table is open to anyone who has decided to take the plunge and work on the craft of becoming a writer. It doesn't matter whether you've just finished your first chapter or have published a dozen books. Whether you write mysteries, children's books, h …

This club's goal is to have great discussions on renowned works in both fiction and non-fiction. This would include great works of literature, history, autobiographies, biographies, plays etc. Great books and great discussions are our goal; books that profoundly explore human nature. Especially for fiction it would be great to hear from people who have read the book at different phases of their lives and to hear how their opinions of the book have changed. We will have monthly meeting w …
