We are a culturally diverse group of fiction, memoir, speculative/horror, and screenwriters in New York City. We are avid readers, editors, and published writers who challenge each other to write better, reach individual and group goals, and kick each other in the literary pants.

We firmly believe that writers write! Writing is a solitary art.

Walking, sleeping, or having dinner, a writer's mind is always engaged. Family and friends of writers are sometimes apprehensive, especially when a writer's eyes are taking notes of the immediate area and ears are recording conversations.

The writers in the four groups have varied and complementary educational and professional experiences. We not only talk about the mechanics of writing, we write obsessively, and are voracious readers.

If you are a new or established writer, you will find a welcoming community of peers who will help you improve your craft.  If you are an avid reader, you will find others here who will engage you in thorough conversations, sometimes intense, on writing and world affairs.

We believe that writing can be taught if a person is dedicated and disciplined.  If you share that belief, join us!
