Join the Philadelphia Writers Group and share your creative nonfiction: Personal essays, professional papers, book manuscripts, whatever. We meet twice a month to share our work and receive helpful, positive critiques. We have developed a collegial style, and we're comfortable sharing writing with other like-minded people. When you come, please bring a typed manuscript, up to 600 words, in 12-point Times New Roman, double-spaced. Bring enough copies for the people who have signed up. We meet in …

… The plan is to mostly just hang out, but people can certainly share their writing in a supportive and safe environment if they would like. Whether you post anonymously on the web, are tenaciously writing for publication, or have published (or all three), you are welcome here on equal footing. The important thing is that you like to share inner worlds through talking and writing.  

As a non-published, non-professional creative writer I decided to start offering writing workshops to foster love of writing in others. You don't have to know where to put a comma or what a conjunction is in order to use writing as a tool for personal expression.   We all tend to get swamped with everyday responsibilities, stresses and work.  As critical as the two out of three of them are we also need time for ourselves.  Time to nurture our love of writing.   Once a month we'll hold a themed w …

This group was started in 2007 by Janice Wilson and has continued strong since. Join us for coffee and writing talk on the third Thursday of every month! PLEASE NOTE: This is not a group to "teach" you about writing, nor to give you answers for all of your writing questions. We are low key and laid back, from all backgrounds, all genres, and all levels of experience. Our focus is on the needs of the writers who attend the group--addressing questions or uncertainties, inspiring and motivating, gi …

The purpose of the Writers Group is bringing like-minded people together and share a passion for writing scripts and screenplays. If you have an idea for TV or a movie and want to write, this is for you. Even if you haven't finished the first draft, come talk about story development, characters, dialogue, structure, and scenes. We believe writers need to be around people who "get them" for support and inspiration. The Writers Groups offers feedback, discusses writing habits (what works and what …

We are a diverse group of conscious thinkers, readers of multicultural literature and/or writers with a purpose. In the Literary Tea Room events, we will come together to sit back, relax and unwind with a cup of herbal tea (sometimes food) and chat about books, writing, and using  the literary arts as a tool for social change and justice. We will have functions in various venues throughout Philadelphia to incorporate the "power of place" as a means of stimulating our creative thoughts and ideas. …

Do you want to write "me too" fiction or do you think you can do better? Do you want to be one of the ten percent that succeed? Would a group that provides external expectation help you motivate? This is intended to be a focused group of science fiction and fantasy writers who want to help each other with ongoing projects. We usually hold bi-weekly meetings on weekends or weeknights depending on what members want. This would be a creative group that helps you flex your writing muscles, by using …

Henry George reconciled the great paradox facing all civilizations: In spite of all our progress, why are there fewer jobs than there are workers?
