An ongoing group of writers that meets every Monday night at a restaurant in White Plains. Two people submit every week and the group reviews their work and discusses it at the meeting. Meetings are usually two hours. A writer will on average submit once a month. Before being admitted to the group, we require a writing sample. Any representative work will be fine.  It doesn't have to be long.

We meet the second Saturday of the month in the morning 9-11, in New Haven, to hone the craft of writing fiction. Members post pieces for review, then receive and give feedback at the meet up.

Procedures for posting and reviewing pieces are under the Pages pull down menu. Who the group is not for: people who are writing only for themselves or just f …

Anyone who needs that extra incentive to sit down and write is enc …

Spots open up occasionally, so if you are interested, please submit. *** Originally started as a critique group in 2009 it has grown into more than that.

We meet on Thursday nights …

This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published. Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract. While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …

No Budget Scene started a bunch of years ago online as a paid bulletin board for lo-no budget filmmakers to meet, greet, share and contribute to each other's projects. It became apparent that a huge part of the board was located in and around the outskirts of NYC and most were newcomers to filmmaking or were people who wanted guidance in their own projects from the more experienced members. Unfortunately, as the board aged and it's more experienced members got involved in bigger and bigger proje …
