Code Meet Print is the community at the intersection of texts + technology that will contemplate, define, and help build better interfaces for …

More than a club or a community of readers, this is a space for people who find pleasure reading literature from Latin America and Spain, a space where one can share opinions, ideas, and experiences of how the literature of Latin America and Spain have been changing and affecting one another. We will read non-fiction, fiction, articles, chronicles, essays, short stories and novels. The only requirement is that it is in Spanish. Más que un club o una comunidad de lectores, este es un espacio para …

Everybody loves a good story. Storytelling is an age-old tradition that has been around since the dawn of time in every culture. We live in an area teeming with amazing storytelling shows so lets get together and support this art form.

Join us for a monthly creative writing workshop, to discuss and critique member-submitted work. We'd love to include a range of genres including fiction, non-fiction, poetry and prose.

I love to write. I know there are other people who love to write along the shoreline area too. Let's get together to explore our creative souls and support each other through this sometimes lonely process. All skill levels are welcome. Please bring enough copies to share with the group. I am looking forward to meeting new writers and learning about their creative methods.

This workshop is intended to provide an …

The new language of video is pervasive. It has become the medium for training, entertainment, social advocacy, promotion, and just plan diversion. Creating short (less than 10 minute) well crafted stories requires a small group effort that moves us from our reliance on the online world to face to face collaboration with like minded creative people. This meet up group will bring together small teams of creative individuals to work together to conceptualize, plan, execute and critique short video …

Do you like to write? If yes, do you find it difficult to make time to sit down and write? This is a meetup group for people to get together and, well, write. The group (or whoever RSVPs) meets once a week. For 1-2 hours (or however long you can stay) we sit down and write quietly. Once a month we'll get together afterwards to talk about our writing or just socialize. I'm not interested in critiquing, lectures, and the like.

Writer’s Block: Is It Real? Why do we want to write but find ourselves unable to do it? Perhaps it is as simple as this: We are simply having a thought -- a thought like: I don’t have the time. It won’t be any good. I’ll just quit anyway. I always do. No one will like it. I don’t feel like it. It’s too hard. I need to feel moved to write. I need to be inspired. There will be no pay off. I am no good at it. Not really. Others are better at it than I am. I’m too tired. I need to watch TV or check …

"If you wish to be a writer, write." - Epictetus ...The concept of this meetup is simple: meet up with others in a cafe ...and write.  Carve out one sacred hour per week to bring your project to life.  Working in the company of other creative writers will provide you with the motivation you need to move forward and write that story, novel, or chapbook of poems you have inside you.  Our group is about creative companionship...no critiquing, exercises, lectures, ego, competition or feeling guilty. …

We meet the second Saturday of the month in the morning 9-11, in New Haven, to hone the craft of writing fiction. Members post pieces for review, then receive and give feedback at the meet up.

This group is aimed at writers in Suffolk County who are looking for a group to work on their current projects and work toward publishing. We'll meet once a month at a place of our choosing (I had been thinking of the Starbucks up on Middle Country Road, Johnny's, or maybe the Ecology Park in good weather) for a few hours and work through our projects. We can discuss the progress on our pieces, read work aloud for critiques, and give each other life support during the querying process (I warn yo …

No club, if it wants to survive, can open itself to all comers. Clubs depend on exclusivity; if the conditions of membership aren’t enforced or argued away by the more insincere members, it dies or becomes something only faintly resembling what it set out to be. Let me begin, then, by telling you exactly what I want this club to be. Once a month, Bostonians who enjoy reading aloud great literature will gather at one of city’s premier watering holes to do just that. (Dive bars won’t provide the q …

Creative writing is exciting. We are more likely to grow as writers, both in the enjoyment of our craft and in our productivity, when we are in community with other writers. Writing does not need to be lonely and unproductive, but should be an fulfilling and liberating form of creativity and self-expression. As a member of The Writers' Workshop, you can belong to a community of fellow writers who will encourage you in your craft.  Each writer should come to each week's writing session with a pen …

This is a group for anyone interested in writing poetry, fantasy or fiction. We are not limited to this form of writing and would like to have other forms of writing for more inspiration. We will read and critique our writings at all sessions.
