Meet fellow authors and chat about your monthly writing progress!

Have fun interacting with wordsmith pals and get advice, feedback and motivation from them! You might even find beta-readers in this group.

The format is: People introduce themselves, say what they're working on, and, if they're facing a challenge, explain the problem and get guidance.

We will also watch several youtube videos about the craft of writing, preferably relevant to an aspect of writing that was mentioned by one or more participants.

In addition, if there is enough time and some participants want to read for ten to fifteen minutes from their work and get instant feedback, they are welcome to do so.

This meeting is online and you have to have a free zoom account to join.

You should do a couple of things before joining your first meeting if you've never used Zoom before.

First, install the program. Zoom will walk you through it when you click on a Zoom link for the first time, but I suggest doing it ahead of time, so you can take your time, and work out any kinks you might have without being under any pressure.

If you are on a computer, go to this page: https://zoom.us/download

The first download button is the one you need if you're on a computer. It's called "Zoom Client for Meetings."

If you're on an Android phone, you can download the app from the Google Play store:

And, on an iPhone, the Apple app store:

I (Noreen Brenner, the meeting's host) write hard science fiction and have an educational background in science (master's degrees in molecular biology and bioinformatics, nearly a PhD in neuroscience). I am very interested in Einstein's theories and quantum mechanics and refer to them in my fiction. In addition, I am a freelance science writer and a certified German to English translator, specializing in translating scientific and literary texts, with decades of experience in translation. I have also worked as an editor, science editor, high school science teacher and science tutor.

I look forward to seeing you in the meetings!
