… It's about the writing, not the person. We can also do free writing from prompts, optional assignments and even analysis of other pieces to learn what works and what doesn't. I'd really love to just get this started and see where it goes. As a writer, hopeful graduate student, and eventual professor, I'm very aware that restricting my poetry writing experience to myself is insufficient. So if you feel the same, have similar aspirations, or simply want to seriously develop your poetry, then pleas …

No degree of separation. No fame. Just writers writing. Authentic. Whimsical. Vulnerable. "It's all true, none of it's true, don't ask."

We then pass the mike around for anyone who wants to read. …

You need not BE a writer on this subject, you must simply be able to treat it with the same objective, non-emotional professionalism you would any other topic.

Opinions about topic validity in and of itself are irrelevant here. 2. You MUST …

The Twin Cities Playwrights' Group was created to give local aspiring playwrights a forum to help each other create and develop their new works. Members assist each other by reading scripts, helping with story-line, or by providing specific feedback as requested by the member. The group is designed for those who already have a basic understanding of the creative play development process but who just want a little help from other writers. We will foster an open, positive and supportive writers' e …

Mission: Ideally, we’d like 6-8 regular attendees to monthly contribute 8-15 pages of commercial fiction*. Format: workshopping. Intention: Everybody ‘gets time’. Motto: Always honest, but never mean. Let’s break this down. 6-8 regular attendees: from a maximum pool of 10-12. Regular implies some level of commitment and allows for remembering each other’s plot lines, characters, revisions, etc. We’re trying to create a writing lab, a safe haven from the writing jungle: a ‘place’ to nurture ex …

Our vision is that this will be a group of serious YA writers (of all ages) who share a common goal of getting published. We're writers with completed or nearly completed YA novels who are perfecting our craft in order to pursue publication.

If you do not write YA novels, please do not ask to …

A group for writers of all genres and all styles. Whether you are a poet or working on your first novel (or 12th) everyone is welcome. During the first few meetups we'll set up the layout of how we would like to operate.
