Writers Group

Hi there! I'm new to the area (34F) and looking for a writing community. Before COVID I had a small – but lovely – writers group with a few work colleagues. Since then, I've struggled to find a structured, in-person community to share and critique work.

  • Howland Public Library seems to have a writing group every other Tuesday. However, it sounds more like a space write with other rather than share work?
  • Willow Bookshop just kicked off a writers group on the first Thursday of every month. I'm not sure what it looks like but I'm excited to find out.
  • Workshops seem like a great idea. So many of them are online, which isn't a dealbreaker. But I'm curious if anyone has taken in-person workshops in the HV that they would recommend?
  • Continued Education Classes sound perfect for engaging in a structured experience. Google hasn't turned up much, so please let me know if anyone you know has tried this route.

I write fiction – literary fiction, romance, horror, fantasy, etc. Primarily I struggle with accountability and would love to find local community along the way. If anyone knows an existing writers group or has a desire to form one, let me know!
