This group will help you meet your writing goals by holding you accountable for your work. Set realistic weekly goals for yourself and then bring copies for everyone to read on a weekly basis. If you're uncomfortable sharing your writing, you can still contribute your opinions/perspectives/superb grammatical skills to the group.

Love to write fiction? Have characters and plots bursting out of your ears, wanting, needing to be penned down? Does reading a well composed story set your heart afire and skin tingling? Want to be a better story-teller? Looking for honest constructive feedback to grow as a writer, and in turn help others grow? This is the group for you! I mainly write speculative fiction (sci-fi/fantasy) but literary fiction writers are more than welcome. Everyone here is a student and a teacher. We're a suppor …

This is a group for those who are serious about writing.  The focus is inspirational, spiritual and self-help writing projects that we would like to get to publication. Come join us and share your writing and enjoy the efforts of others. Looking forward to creating inspired writing with other like-minded individuals.

We are writer's working group with the sole aim of obliterating procrastination and other plausible-sounding excuses. Sadly, there will be no editing, reading, reviewing or critiquing... you'll have to take care of that on your own. We take the ephemeral thoughts and ideas floating around in our minds and forge them into real words either on paper or on screen. It's all about production here. Because as writers, we know that nothing happens until words appear in real life. In concrete terms: Mee …

This group is a book club with a twist. It is a book club for writers. Why are some books popular? What makes them bestsellers? What can we as writers learn from these books? I started this book club because traditional book clubs are too vanilla for me. If you are a committed writer, then this meetup is for you. We meet once a month in downtown Toronto. Other events are scheduled as we think of them. Each month, we will chose a work of fiction and examine it from the perspective of a writer (an …

This is a group for anyone studying to be a children's writer. I started this group because I want to meet other aspiring children's literature writers like myself.

A monthly meeting for writers looking for support and review of their work from other writers. Come and discuss writing opportunities and challenges. Let us review your work and give valued feedback. Novels, fiction and non-fiction, essays and short stories. Professionals or out-of-work, experienced or just off the boat. All types welcome. Please bring copies of your work to meetups so people may read along.

Many of us aspire to be creative in one form or another but we carry within us hindrances to either doing our work or releasing it out into the world. At times we may believe we're not good enough, that our work lacks meaning, isn't perfected, or we don't have enough talent and imagination to acheive what we desire. It may be that we fear criticism, failure and rejection, or perhaps resistant to change and success. Ultimately, the thoughts we think and the beliefs we hold, are what's holding us …

“Truly fine poetry must be read aloud. A good poem does not allow itself to be read in a low voice or silently. If we can read it silently, it is not a valid poem: a poem demands pronunciation. Poetry always remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art. It remembers that it was first song." Jorge Luis Borges This is a meetup group for people who like to read, and be read to. Everyone is welcome!  Bring a passage or two that you like and recite it with the group, then we can tal …
