Missions Statement In forming this association, my aim is to assemble a energetic, fun, semi-professional, eclectic (and probably eccentric) group of artists/writers/photographers/SCUBA divers/underwater photographers/videographers/computer programmers/boat captains, naturalists, philanthropists, and others to work on films, books, exhibits, and other projects that relate to the underwater and coastal worlds. That is to say, I would like a group of dynamic individuals with varied talents to co …

An informal writing group based in Brooklyn. Our mission is to provide a support group and creative outlet for inspiring writers.

This group is open to any and all kinds of writers engaged in all genres - from professionals, freelancers, hobbyists and creative dreamers.

The best way to improve your writing is to be part of a small, motivated, ambitious group of peers interested in helping make everyone's work better; fellow writers at similar stages of their careers who understand offering helpful criticism and receiving it in return benefits everyone.

Happy New Year! As a non-fiction writer, I've been intrigued by the number of "Meetup" groups that have popped up in the tristate area under the name: "Shut Up and Write!" Most of these groups are in NYC but lately I've noticed a few in Montclair and Morristown. So I've decided to put some feelers out to see if the idea will work in my community. (You don't have to live in Maplewood or South Orange to join us.) The "Shut Up and Write!" Meetups are not a critique group or a writing class. They ar …

In the oldest tradition of writers groups from the past The Inklings, The Bloomsbury Group, Algonquin Round Table, Shakespeare And Company Writers and Ciao Domenica (i.e. In 1816 Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley spent a summer with Lord Byron, John William Polidori, and Claire Clairmont creating some of the most important fiction in the English language.)

I'm an MFA candidate in creative writing who has recently studied under a fantastic teacher at the top of the comics industry.
