You can write. We're here to help. Do you have voices inside your head that won't leave you alone until you get their story down on paper? Good news – you're a writer.

We will even have the occasional critique. Novels, short stories, screenplays, poems – in all genres are welcome. We're here to help you write the bes …

A monthly meeting for writers looking for support and review of their work from other writers. Come and discuss writing opportunities and challenges. Let us review your work and give valued feedback. Novels, fiction and non-fiction, essays and short stories. Professionals or out-of-work, experienced or just off the boat. All types welcome. Please bring copies of your work to meetups so people may read along.

This is a group for those who are serious about writing.  The focus is inspirational, spiritual and self-help writing projects that we would like to get to publication. Come join us and share your writing and enjoy the efforts of others. Looking forward to creating inspired writing with other like-minded individuals.

Jorge Luis Borges This is a meetup group for people who like to read, and be read to. Everyone is welcome!  Bring a passage or two that you like and recite it with the group, then we can tal …
