We are passionate writers looking to meet other passionate writers. Our group loves to have fun and our atmosphere is warm, welcoming, playful - at times even silly. At the same time, when we get down to it, we offer sincere feedback, trying to improve each other's work. We believe that to give good feedback we have to tell the writer what worked well first, what moved us, what inspired us, what made us want to punch something or someone. Then, we talk about what can be improved. The environment …

My name is Nick Thorpe and I've been in a band for about four years and I play guitar, vocals, and write songs. I left that band when I moved to New York and have since been writing. I now have around 15 songs written and ready to play but need other musicians. To be specific a drummer, bass player, and possibly another guitarist. I already have some connections for venue promoters so I would want to start playing gigs as soon as possible. I'm excited to meet anyone who joins this group and can' …

This is a guided writing group. Each week we write two pages on an assigned topic and read it aloud at group.

Hi All, A lovely woman named Zoe first organized this group & I joined it right away. Soon after that she announced that she stepped down due to some nasty emails. I had already read the intros of other members & felt such kinship that I stepped up as organizer. I think with membership recently passing the 200 mark, I've got more than adequate support for any negativity even if I am not a "tough New Yorker." I'm not even a New Yorker. In fact, since stepping up, I have not received a single nega …
