The group meets the last Wednesday of every month to discuss New Yorker essays and short stories. The PLUS is a pre-meeting, separate discussion of a book ( fiction or non-fiction ) chosen in advance by the group. A member may participate in The New Yorker meeting without joining the book discussion. All essays, short stories, and books are chosen at each meeting by the group. In some cases the group may decided to devote multiple sessions to a book.

This group is a collective of writers, whose goals are to help each other develop our writing projects via critiques and sharing of resources, with strong motivation toward getting our work published.

We are serious about our writing, and sincere and helpful in our critiques. Plus, we're nice people!

An ongoing group of writers that meets every Monday night at a restaurant in White Plains. Two people submit every week and the group reviews their work and discusses it at the meeting. Meetings are usually two hours. A writer will on average submit once a month. Before being admitted to the group, we require a writing sample. Any representative work will be fine.  It doesn't have to be long.    

… We are poets and short story writers, web designers and database developers, startup founders, essayists, investors, and six-word novelists.  You are too.  Come have a word with us. #CMPNY

  Writing Hemingway/Fitzgerald   We are a group of serious minded writers focused on publishing our work;  socializing takes place outside the meetup time. Members rarely miss a meetup.   We keep in small groups where everyone knows your name and you are an integral part of the discussions.  Nobody is meant to feel like they are a beginner or an outsider. We are one of the few groups that meet at an urban writers colony in Manhattan.  This gives us exposure to many successful writers who publish …

This is a story about a bunch of quirky strangers who just wanted to have their simple need in their lives met: food. Once that need was fulfilled, they discovered themselves laughing so hard, other people never suspected they have just met. So, these quirky strangers became quirky friends who wanted to do quirky things that life has to offer. We live in the daily grind of stress and work politics and find ourselves having to be an adult when in reality we are all kids at heart. Let’s get togeth …
