Never been in a book club then join me as I have never run a book club, we have fun figuring it all out together.

This club's goal is to have great discussions on renowned works in both fiction and non-fiction. This would include great works of literature, history, autobiographies, biographies, plays etc. Great books and great discussions are our goal; books that profoundly explore human nature. Especially for fiction it would be great to hear from people who have read the book at different phases of their lives and to hear how their opinions of the book have changed. We will have monthly meeting with most …

We will read  contemporary/classic fiction and non- fiction about once a month.  The monthly books are selected after the last meeting on an online poll.  Book suggestions for the poll are allotted to those have attended prior meetings.  We meet the last Wednesday of each month.

The Breakdown: We read good books. We're looking for other intellectually curious, like-minded 20somethings (a vague guideline) in Astoria (another vague guideline) to read them with us, share some food, drink, and sweet convo. The Criteria For Choosing Said Good Books: Magical language (with a healthy dash of magical realism), fresh voices (love a debut) irreverent to painfully relevant, growing up, growing old, dying, coming back to life, urban culture to Southern idyllicy, savory books that y …

I decided to start the group because I cannot find a book club that assigns books that are more to my liking. So I am hoping to find other girls who will enjoy the type of books I love to read. I read both fiction and non fiction, but my main interest is stories that touch upon specific things: feminism, sexuality, mental health, etc. So join my group if you are looking to stay local in Brooklyn, like to drink and like to read.

The purpose of this group is to provide a supportive community for people who love to write but who can never seem to find the time when left to their own devices. This group will give deadlines that must be met and where peers can give constructive criticism and feedback to each other. Trade tips on overcoming writer's block, procrastination habits, and the like. As well as get together and discuss writing and books with others. Anyone who needs that extra incentive to sit down and write is enc …

The group meets the last Wednesday of every month to discuss New Yorker essays and short stories. The PLUS is a pre-meeting, separate discussion of a book ( fiction or non-fiction ) chosen in advance by the group. A member may participate in The New Yorker meeting without joining the book discussion. All essays, short stories, and books are chosen at each meeting by the group. In some cases the group may decided to devote multiple sessions to a book.

Hi Valley Moms!! This group was getting ready to close and I thought I'd jump in to see if we can get some activity up and running again!  Valley Moms was started by a mom looking for kid friendly activities and chance to get out of the house with makeup on and recharge! Personally, I'm a WAHM of a 1 1/2 year old.  Getting out of the house for me means running errands or meeting with clients.  My daughter & I just don't have much interaction with other kids and moms, unless they happen to be a c …

Do you like to write? If yes, do you find it difficult to make time to sit down and write? This is a meetup group for people to get together and, well, write. The group (or whoever RSVPs) meets once a week. For 1-2 hours (or however long you can stay) we sit down and write quietly. Once a month we'll get together afterwards to talk about our writing or just socialize. I'm not interested in critiquing, lectures, and the like.

This is a reboot of a book club I started 3 years ago for women of all ages and backgrounds to read a variety of books. Each member has a chance to present a book they want to read. All genres are welcome. If it is your book, you are in charge of the discussion and choosing where we meet for discussion. In the past, we've met at restaurants, but can meet at someone's home, restaurant, or other venue in the greater Danbury area. We'll meet the 4th Thursday of every month at 7 PM. Meetups are limi …

So I majored in Creative Writing in college and loved my workshop classes. I vowed to find one after I graduated so that I kept up with my writing. That was over three years ago. I have not been in any writing workshops since and my writing has been getting less and less. Sound familiar? If you are an aspiring writer, love to write to release stress or just like to write as a hobby, but don't really find yourself motivated, then join my group. I love to write, but I feel that its too hard to do …

This group serves as a meeting place for writers who are interested in getting feedback on their manuscripts from the writing community. i prefer fiction writers (with emphasis on short stories, that are easier to deal with) but creative non-fiction is welcome as well. The group will not have a professional author in charge, but rather, is meant for folks who have taken at least one class and are familiar with the workshop/booth process. when registering to the group, please answer questions abo …
