… I offer a monthly literary salon that gives members a chance to connect and talk about writing and publishing.  I am also launching the Flatirons Literary Review, another of my business projects, which will give BWW members and my coaching clients a way to build their professional platform by being involved in a publishing venture, through contributing articles, being a reader, editing a department or helping with administrative tasks.  I have some other great offerings in the works--including a …

… The group will meet for writing workshops starting with some general writing exercises from those grand institutes of learning such as Second City or that drunk guy at the end of the bar (real pearls of wisdom there). The sky is the limit from there. We can start with great basic lessons, practice a few formats and just plain write.  Plan to bring pages back for table reads (passing out parts) and share your sense of humor with everyone. Join others who love to share and learn from each other in …

It seems like most writing meetups meet during the working day, and I imagine I'm not the only one who is working during that time. This meetup is for writers and aspiring writers of all kinds. The idea is that we will meet at a cafe in or near Longmont to write for an hour and a half or two, and then if people want to stay to chat about what they've written, get feedback, just say hello, they can stay. Once the group gets going, I'd like to invite established authors to come talk to us about th …

I am a serious writer in need of a serious but fun critique group. I love to critique and I am in need of critiquers. I would like to open the group up to writing exercises, talking about writing, help brainstorming ideas or bouncing off ideas, and just to be surrounded by those who enjoy the torture and pleasure of writing as much as I do.

Hi! My name is Janet Lynne Roots. I'm a British novelist, editor and writer's coach, and I firmly believe everybody has at least one good story to tell. There's just one difference between writers who get published and those who don't: the published ones learned their craft. Writing a novel is more than filling several hundred pages with words. It's about character and comedy, dialogue and description, plotting and pacing, emotions and editing. Most of all it's about creating a little magic in a …

The Louisville Writer's Workshop is a group for writers of all levels from any genre. This is a place for writers in the community to come together to critique each other's work and participate in discussions of all things writing, from generating ideas to plot, structure and character development to publishing. The group will be facilitated by Rachel Weaver, MFA.

This is a great place to start for all of you who have ever wanted to write a novel. Thriller, chiller, romance, YA, sci-fi, urban fantasy, chick lit - whatever the genre (or none at all), here you will learn the essential ingredients of salable fiction from pro writer's coach, Janet Lynne Roots. Criticism is low-key and constructive; all published writers started somewhere. The first meeting is free, so come and check us out. From then on, it's $10 per meetup, or buy a punch card for $50 that's …

Welcome Colorado Writers! Experts (coaches, speakers, consultants) who KNOW that writing a book will help you further your career, but not sure how to go about writing it or getting it published. This monthly meeting provides updates on the publishing industry and writing lessons as well as an opportunity to network and enjoy some light fare. As the Get Published Coach, I've helped hundreds of authors clarify their ideas, write their books, get them published and even become best-sellers.

The Boulder Creative Conferences brings together the magazine and book industries' top photographers, writers, authors, book editors, photo editors, and magazine editors to teach local writers and photographers the art and soul of their craft, as well as how to break into the business. We hold quarterly workshops with smaller group meetings in between. In the past, we've had Pulitzer Prize winning magazine journalists and the photo editors from National Geographic on our faculty. Join if you wan …

Bi-Weekly prompts, interactive exercises, collaborations, and critique. Let's get inspired and sink deep into the art and craft of the written and spoken word. We meet 2nd and 4th thursdays at 6, at the Tree Haus in Denver.  Submit your files if you'd like to be critiqued!

There's a group for writers but they're all 40-50 years old, there's a group for artsy folks (I'm assuming, I don't know this for a fact), there's a group for twenty somethings but all they do is the geeks who drink circuit, but there's no group for creatively persuaded 20 somethings who like to drink coffee and shoot the shit about stuff (be it intellectual fodder, books, art, music or just whatever), So I decided to start one. I guess this is really just a veiled attempt to make some like mind …

… We'll also work on singing back-ups, group songs, writing an original song together, and of course our own individual performances. Kids who also play an instrument are highly encouraged to play and sing! They will practice learning to play at their particular level along with other professional musicians. And, if their skill level and comfort level allow, they can even help to accompany other students. The kids will be accompanied by professional musicians who have many years of experienc …

There's nothing quite as wonderful as a group of people creating together and establishing friendships over a sip...whether it's Guinness, tea or wine. This group is an opportunity to meet like-minded, creative folks who live in or near the Boulder area. I have found that having a group that meets regularly can assist in the completion of projects that have been languishing in the closet. Anyone with a creative talent is encouraged to join. Knitters, writers, jewelery makers, art journalers, art …
