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 …

In general, the atmosphere is laid back and welcoming (but can be quite crazy too).  People who come to several events have often become very good friends.  Yet, please do not be mistaken: We are still open to meeting new people and making …
