The monthly meetings are split between discussion and writing exercises for the first half, followed by a writing feedback ("critique") session. Read the Message Board and Files for an idea of how our meetings work, what constitutes a "critique," tips on writing and submitting your work, and more. Chec …

Every month we read the best book as chosen by our members. We then meet and discuss them. If the book we chose has been made in to a movie or a play, then we might schedule an additional meetup event.  If you are fond of reading and would enjoy discussing books like Three Cups of Tea, The Help, and The Art of Racing in the Rain, we would love to have you as a member of our group.

'All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. --As You Like It, Act II Amateur dramatics without any of the stress: we pick the parts we want, then read the plays out-loud. No need for costume, props, or accents; no need to memorize lines, to "look the part," or to be the same age (or gender) as your character!  All you need is a willingness to try it - we'r …

Many people are fascinated with the world of espionage and the tricks of the trade, or "tradecraft," that often makes it possible. Yet, while fictional depictions of tradecraft often make it look easy, in reality, it can only be mastered through the dedication and commitment needed to master any craft or trade. This group meets to discuss, learn, and practice espionage tradecraft in a supportive and collegial atmosphere. Above all, we are committed to share our interest in espionage, with an …

Analytic philosophy is, by far, the standard type of philosophy taught in Philosophy Departments throughout North America, Britain, Scandinavia, and beyond. Analytic philosophers aim for perspicuity and results, and they typically make serious, substantive contributions to the foundational issues arising in other disciplines, like Economics, Physics, Biology, Computer Science, etc. (in fact, analytic philosophers have *founded* these disciplines, by in large). However, this group will discuss th …

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?

We are a group of book lovers that meet once a month to discuss.....books. We like to read books from all genres, though usually fiction, we have thrown in a non-fiction a time or two. During the monthly meetups, we choose the next book. Actually, we tend to stay 2 months in advance so everyone has a chance to get the book from the library if they want. How we choose books is a little different too. We don't really discuss the book before reading it. Someone at the meeting suggests a book they w …

This is a "close reading" book club. It will utilize a different format than most clubs. Most book clubs discuss a book in one session. There are a small number of "close reading" meetups around, in which members discuss a book over a large number of sessions. I am not starting the latter type of group, because I recognize that it will be hard to find time to attend, say, a dozen meetups about a single book. So the format of this meetup will be a COMBINATION of online message board discussion - …

Hello everyone. I'm Eric Griffin. I am a gothic fantasy novelist. I haven't been published yet, but that will change. The purpose of this group is just what the name states. You don't have to be published to be a member, although having at least one published author in the group would be wonderful. I would, however, like to deal with writers who have been around the mountain enough times to employ a strong knowledge of technique and the fundamentals of novel writing. That way, each member …
