There are some great writing groups in Wake County already, but what I need the most is some time away from the house to be able to actually work. To that end I’ve started this group to provide write-ins for every author, regardless of genre or skill level. This is a writing practice group where you can work on a specific project, find your inner voice, or just try your hand at writing for the first time. Writing prompts will be given at the start of each session (and on Twitter @WakeWriters) bu …

If poetry or screenplays are your thing, no problem, there are groups within this group who …

We are a writing critique group specifically geared toward people working on novels. Most of our members are writing sci fi/fantasy, but we are open to writers working in other genres. If you are primarily a poet or a playwright, we are not the group for you. We intentionally keep our membership small so that every member of the group can submit writing to every meeting. As a result, we are all very familiar with each others' work. We seek members who are committed to providing honest, constru …

This is a group for anyone who enjoys reading or writing long-form or book-length works of nonfiction. If you enjoy long-form feature writing in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, or Esquire... or books by authors like Laura Hillenbrand, Rebecca Skloot, Bill Bryson, David Sedaris, Malcolm Gladwell, or Gay Talese, this would be a meetup for you. I'm looking forward to monthly meetups to read and discuss great nonfiction. Sometimes we'll read and discuss an article or two; other times, a nonfiction boo …

Bring in samples, bounce around ideas, start a workshop - we'll focus on encouraging pen-to-paper. To get the ball rolling, I'm including poets, too.

This group is for people who have or want to have their books published on eBook pages such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sony, iTunes, Diesel-eBook, Smashwords, etc. The object of this group is to help people get through the intricacies of getting your book out, and share resources for cover art, advertising, and formatting. It was started by Steve Stone, teacher of eBook publishing classes at Wake Tech Community College because there is no group like it in the area.
