This is a group designed for writer's in the area. The best way to improve the craft is through practice, so why not have a writer's circle where we can share our work and offer positive criticism? This is for anyone who loves to write, whether it's your vocation or just a hobby. All writing is welcome, fiction and non-fiction.  Anyone who loves to put pen to paper, or more accurately fingers to keyboard, this is the group for you.

    "Hello everyone. My name is Charles and I'm a writer. I'm looking for groups that meet on the weekends as I'm in school nights Mon-Fri. I love to read and write and I don't lack for passion or ideas. However my technical skills are lacking."

    "Very interested in getting together running through exercises, discussing materials, goal setting, critiques, and aiming for the big "P" word, publishing. I generally write narrative literary fiction in a style of Fitzgerald meets Murakami."
