Stromboli Streghe is a group of women writers who meet every second Saturday to share their creative writing. We share critique and encouragement. If you would like to join this group, please contact the organizer and send a sample of your writing. Membership is put to a vote by the current members.

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Exploring the many avenues that we use to feed our creativity. We'll meet and inspire each other. Also, we'll take 'field trips' to locations that will feed creativity.

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 mix of a writing circle and an art collective,  Brush & Quill will use a combination of structured activities and improvisational writing and drawing to create individual and collaborative poems, prose, drawings, and paintings.   In addition to writing and art, we sometimes break out a word or art game.  Although, we sometimes do structured writing and art activities, the group, overall, is more of a social art and writing session.   We typically meet in and around Silver Spring, Rockville, an …

This is a group for writers who want to grow in the craft and help others grow.  This group is dedicated to writers of all genres.  If you need a push to pick up your pen or laptop, we are the group for you.  The goal is to remind writers why they started writing in the first place, and why they still write.  This is a safe haven and learning environment for writers.  For those who are scared to show their work, I encourage you to join this group.  This is a nurturing group.  Although honest, th …

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.

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 purpose of the group is for local writers to be able to gather and receive constructive criticism of their writing. The group includes several published authors in fiction, science fiction, fantasy and alternate history. 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 genr …

We are an established writing critique group looking to add a few new members. This group is for writers of literary fiction only, whether that be novel segments or short stories. We meet on the first Sunday of the month (unless it's a major holiday) in D.C. and critique two to three stories that have been passed out and read ahead of time. We're a dedicated group of writers who have been meeting for three years, so we are cautious about bringing in new members. We'll want to meet you and see ho …

Are you committed to writing? We are looking for serious wordsmiths to join our critique group located in Montgomery County, Maryland. We meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month at 7pm in Olney, MD, at the Harris Teeter. Our meetings are about two hours in length. We have writers of different experience levels working in speculative, young adult, and dark fiction. We try to include a writing prompt at the end of every meeting.
