What we’re about
I have wanted to create a space for creative female-identifying and nonbinary writers for a while. I would like this to be a safe space and a place of support for creative writing projects of all kinds: novels, poetry, memoir, screenplays, journaling, etc. This group is for both people who are deep into projects and those who are just starting out and/or need more motivation. Our goal will be to have "let's just get together and write" meetings once a week for productivity and accountability. This is not a critique group, although you may be able to find critiquing partners within the group.
I will also be utilizing our online discussion forum so that we can continue our discussions, ask questions, and seek support for our creative lives between meet-ups!
Some basic ground rules:
• Please cancel your RSVP at least one day before the meeting if you will be unable to attend. This allows others who wish to attend to move from the waiting list to the attendee list. 3 no-shows without canceling your RSVP will result in removal from the group.
• If you would like to share links to learning opportunities, blogs, and other works published, or other writing-related information, you may do so in the message boards or an event's discussion/comments.
• It should go without saying, but please be supportive and respectful of everyone's process and only offer solicited and constructive criticism of any shared work.
• If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message me via Meetup. Although busy between two jobs, I usually respond to messages within a few days.
*** To aid in the cost of annual Meetup membership and Zoom membership, after a trial period all members will be charged annual dues of $10.
