Monday Night Writers: Houston is a spin-off of a group I used to organize in Los Angeles. Since I moved to Houston, I'm moving the group, too!   Imagine your favorite college writing workshop: this is what I'm trying to accomplish on a grown-up level. We will share a piece of writing in advance, get together, and critique a few writers at each meeting. Whether you write professionally, are trying to get published, or would just like to hone your writing skills... this is the writing group for yo …

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. -Robert Frost. This group is dedicated to those who celebrate the art of POETRY and appreciate the people behind the verses. But, alas, you do not have to be a poet to join us. Houston has so much to offer in terms of cultural diversity and poetry is a wonderful art which can serve to unite us, enlighten us and broaden our view of those in our local and global community.  You are welcome to sugges …

Once a month we gather for a low-pressure chance to socialize with other folks interested in writing science fiction, fantasy or horror. Topics tend to range from "why I'm here at this group and what I like to write" through specific questions about writing process and problems to discussions of sf/f/h works and debates on ideas of general interest relative to writing sf/f/h. We post an optional writing exercise, and if there are takers, we read and comment on their work. Occasionally we hold ha …

Thank you so much for looking into the Get Trapped in a Book Writing Group. Writing a book can be lonely and intimidating when you are trying to go it alone, but often when writers get together they do more talking than writing. This is a friendly but focused group. We work in 45 minute SILENT sessions with a short break. It is not a critique group, not a writing class, not a plotting or brainstorming party and not a workship. We work QUIETLY together. It is for writers who would like the …

I live in the League City Area and it's difficult to make other book clubs that are all the way on the other side of Houston. I decided it would be fun to start up a book club which meets once a month. We can chow, chat and choose another book for the next time. All women are welcome meaning that if you read, possess a sense of humor and have absolutely zero drama, you're welcome here. The focus of the group will be mostly fiction unless someone can recommend an entertaining non-fiction book. My …
