We are a creative community center in the heart of Westport in a 19th century carriage house that looks like a little red schoolhouse. We teach creative writing in small groups and have many sections. We also teach screenwriting, writing for children, memoir, songwriting and have a teen program in July. We add classes all the time.  We hold all kinds of community events such as author talks, poetry open-mic and our monthly Storytelling Fridays. Downstairs we have a dedicated writers' room where …

Do you like to write? If yes, do you find it difficult to make time to sit down and write? This is a meetup group for people to get together and, well, write. The group (or whoever RSVPs) meets once a week. For 1-2 hours (or however long you can stay) we sit down and write quietly. Once a month we'll get together afterwards to talk about our writing or just socialize. I'm not interested in critiquing, lectures, and the like.

Are you in touch with your creative side? Would you like to be? Do you have a secret desire to draw, write, invent, design, dance, fabricate, contemplate, etc., but doubt that you have what it takes? If so, join us for group discussions, meditations and simple exercises meant to help you discover your creative self. Regardless of your experience, you will find support, guidance, encouragement, and camaraderie as you learn about your innate abilities. We will meet every other Monday from 6:30-8:3 …

Laughter is good for people. Nice article on the subject: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/07/23/laughter-and-heal... I like making people laugh and my hobby is writing comedic monologues for actors to use in Auditions. That said I am the first to admit I am no master at creating funny material on a consistent basis and I really only practice writing-funny when the mood strikes. Thus this Milford Amateur Comedy Writing Sessions created to encourage me and those who dare join me - to excercise c …

This group is for authors who are interested in mastering the craft elements of writing. Group members will work to perfect their competence by identifying, practicing, and ultimately implementing recognized techniques. Each meeting will be devoted to a specific craft element related to character, plot, point of view, description, dialogue, setting, pace, voice, and theme. Whether you seek to write short stories, essays, novels or articles, the club members (as a team) will help each other to ma …

This will be a group for people who enjoy writing but need a little push from others to stop procrastinating. There are groups like this in other areas around New York, but non located in Nassau County. The only requirement is a commitment to your craft at whatever level you currently on . We will meet once week or bi monthly depending on the ability of the members of the group to make a serious commitment to that time period. Lets get to know each other, what we think, what we do, and of course …

I love to write. I know there are other people who love to write along the shoreline area too. Let's get together to explore our creative souls and support each other through this sometimes lonely process. All skill levels are welcome. Please bring enough copies to share with the group. I am looking forward to meeting new writers and learning about their creative methods.

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 …

The Stratford Scribes is a group of Fairfield County writers serious about the creation and publication of their craft. The group meets in Stratford, Ct. and owes a philosophical debt to Roberto Calas for both the tone and format of the meetup. We are a group of writers committed to pushing each other to achieve the writing life (and audience) to which we aspire.

Writers mostly write. Besides writing, the second most important act is submitting. I'd like to meet once a month with a group of writers who are submitting their work.  During this meeting we can exchange ideas about motivation, where to submit certain kinds of work and the mechanics of submitting material. We can map out strategies for submitting work and make committments to the group about the process.

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. …

This is a group for serious writers whom are already working on a spiritual book, screenplay, memoir or journal, or are ready to begin one. Let's meet weekly to create a spiritual community where we will support, write and share the journey together. At the beginning of each meeting I will lead us in a short, guided meditation so that we can tap into our inner guidance for clarity and wisdom as we write, which always makes the process that much easier! Days and times are flexible, and will be cr …

Originally started as a critique group in 2009 it has grown into more than that. We do not believe in writing by committee but we do believe a group of individuals that are dedicated to challenging each other and working collaboratively will produce better fiction than each of us would do on our own. 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 is for individuals working on novels, screenplays, nonfiction, serious, funny, whatever..., that require time for review of longer sections of their works. The employment of the term `Other, Other...' is simply my Homage to the Monty Python `Piranha Brothers' episode

This group is very selective and for people who are very sincere about making new friends and getting to know one another. I will probably stop accepting people at 100, so if you do not stay engaged your spot will be replaced. This takes a lot of time so PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW..... I am not looking for large group events, but small quiet events so we get to know each other and really share a lot of laughs. I can be very serious and very silly at times and I think you will find that I am a …
