The purpose of the group is for Ashburn writers to be able to gather and receive constructive criticism of their writing. I would prefer any new members to be mature adults; this is not to dissuade teens from writing, but rather to encourage them to form or join writing groups aimed at their demographic. I want this group to feel free to write and discuss possibly mature themes and writing genres, and it would not be appropriate to expose underage writers to these unnecessarily, not would it be …
A gathering of Artist from all walks of life who promote, encourage and experience Art in its spoken, written and physical form. In this Meetup, I would like to collaborate with other individuals in the Metro Washington D.C. Area to organize meetings in Northern Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C. It is my desire to quarterly meet with all groups to share publishing knowledge, critiquing poetry and essays, and exposing everyone to the wonderful experience of creativity. You should join this …
I need motivation to write! I love writing (and am working on a novel), but never manage to find the time for it. I'd like to meetup with others who need the motivation of a social setting to get some writing done. We'll meet once or twice a week (only attend the meetings you can--don't let the frequency of meetings put you off) and sit down and write. If we go to a meeting to write, we'll actually WRITE! If you're looking for the accountability of a group to motivate you to write, this is fo …

This group is part of a ONE YEAR project, geared toward getting our individual literary work FINISH within 12 months! This is not your typical "critique my writing" or "how to publish?" writing group (although we can and will do so upon request). Instead, we are a supportive group that is designed to keep one another accountable. Every member will give, at their first meeting, their monthly writing goals (e.g. I will write 10 manuscript pages per week; I will complete one chapter per month; I …
Have you always thought about writing a book, screenplay, blog, anything? If so, then join us as we meet up in locations around the Loudoun County area and put our creative juices to good use! The purpose of this group is to create a supportive network of aspiring authors. It's a lonely world out there when you write, and we all know we can be our own worst critic. As a group we can encourage each other to meet our goals as well as help each other when necessary. If you are looking to complete a …
Come meet other local writers to exchange ideas, knowledge, support, and let the creative energy flow! This group is designed to provide support for your creative project, and a chance to give support to others. We are a serious group (but fun), and welcome both fiction and non-fiction writers. Let's create a great writer's community!

A serious weekly writers group intended to encourage the writer to adopt a daily writing practice and to use the meetup group as a support group for feedback, an escape from isolation and with oppprtunities to publish once completed the manuscript or project.
There are no upcoming Meetups.
We're currently a small group, but interested in expanding in both numbers and styles. We read and critique each other's work, whether it's fiction, poetry, autobiography or something...completely different. Your submission can be any size and as explicit as you'd like. As the head of the group, I can proudly say that I've completed a novel, including heavy revisions, and very nearly have an agent! So any help you'd like on that front can also be offered. I should have added this part sooner, so …
The SWG has been around for over twenty years, but is just now catching up with this "Meetup" technology.(LOL!) The group used to be huge, but over the years, it has dwindled down mostly because writers have moved away. Nonetheless, the group, though small at the moment, will soon start to grow and flourish as it once was. This is truly a place for novice, intermediate, and seasoned writers who would like to share their work in a friendly environment where harsh criticism is reprimanded. Even if …
This Meetup is for anyone who loves the art of poetry/spoken word and for those performers that would like to have their word heard.
I have recently joined a Poetry Slam and although I LOVE it, I am often exhausted as it ends at 11pm and is on a week night. So I've decided to start my own on Saturday evenings. If you are one who is serious about GOD and HIS word, attempting to live a good clean life, Please come out and share your struggles, triumphs, everyday battles, just get some stuff off of your chest in poetic form. The spoken word is an excellent tool that people of GOD can use to witness. In this group, we will not ju …
