This group is for support for the nonfiction writer.  We have very different needs than fiction writers which we can support each other on.   Like any other writers' group, we can pass around samples of our writing for critique and feedback. I write in the area of personal growth, but any nonfiction writing is welcome.

Are you committed to writing? We are looking for serious wordsmiths to join our critique group located in Montgomery County, Maryland. We meet the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month at 7pm in Olney, MD, at the Harris Teeter. Our meetings are about two hours in length. We have writers of different experience levels working in speculative, young adult, and dark fiction. We try to include a writing prompt at the end of every meeting.

We are a fun and supportive group of writers living in and around Northern Virginia. All skill levels and all types of writing are represented: novels, poetry, lyrics, short stories, non-fiction, children's stories, and more! We meet every Wednesday at 7pm in a room at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington.  Meetings generally last about 2 hours and are either sessions designed to provide feedback on members' work, or a workshop session aimed at a specific element of writing.

The format I envision goes something like this: Who ever has material can either read their own out loud to the group or ask so …

… If you are the type that is willing to share your opinions in a non-threatening way while listening to who may have a different viewpoint than yours, this club is for you. If you are domineering or others have told you that you “always have to be right,” this book club is NOT for you. My goal is to have healthy debates and passionate discussions about our book material, while letting in light-hearted moments and lots of humor. I want to learn from you and I want you to learn from others. Ultimat …

Did you know that more than 81% of people say that they'd like to write a book? If you have a book inside of you, what better year than 2012 to write and publish it? I'm the author of a few self published books and am planning to write another in 2012. I've written the others rapidly, and in isolation- but I thought it would be fun to see if I could find other authors or aspiring authors to meet with and talk as I work on this next book. My goal for this group would be to have it be a place wher …
