It is a group that is inclusive of all genres of creative writing. It aims at reviving the old tradition of writers' cafes where writers meet, discuss all trends of writing and where some of the most brightest ideas can accidently spark the creation of great art and writing works.

This is a group for all professional (or non-professional) freelance writers who work in the Boston area and want to be in a collaborative environment!
