What we’re about
The Tacoma Screenwriting Group's goal is to provide a time and place to meet like-minded individuals who want to push one another to grow as writers and creatives. Though this is a screenwriting themed group, we welcome all types of writers and all levels of expertise.
What to expect for a writing event?
We will have a combination of online zoom events, live events, table reads, and meet & greets. This is designed to inspire creativity and provide feedback to fellow writers on their writing journey. Feedback is one of the most important elements of growing your writing capabilities. The ability to take critical feedback and provide thoughtful analysis is a tool all writers must own.
Want more socializing?
Writing is inherently personal, private and often done without collaboration. Events will be planned to explore Tacoma as a destination to hone your descriptive skills and meet our fellow group members. Some events may come at a cost depending on the venue or meeting place.
Looking forward to meeting everybody!
Fundraising?
At times, the Fundraising will be active for this group. This is solely to support the Group's activities and or support fellow writers.
My goal is support a short film that the group can collaborate on sometime at the end of the year into early 2026.
