We will share tips, lessons, and learnings on …

We are a small group of writers who meet each week to critique one anothers' fiction projects in a casual and supportive environment. We have been meeting regularly for more than a year and a half, and we are looking to replace some members that have moved away from LA. We are looking for young fiction writers who are able to make it to Studio City every Thursday evening for a couple of hours. Each member reads two to three submissions each week, and submits a piece of anywhere from 10 - 15 page …

Why I am deciding to start this group?I am in need of having the self-discipline to write on a consistent, high quality basis. Though there are other writer's circles I can join, I want to start one in my neighborhood of Florence in South/Southeast Los Angels and save time, money, and energy from having to drive half-way across town, through traffic, with exorbitant gas prices. Purpose of the group: simply come together once, twice a month, etc. and help one another support oneself in terms of a …

We meet monthly to give each other feedback and encouragement as we try to pursue publication for our writings. Members submit their writing one week prior to the meeting so that others can prepare written feedback that contains both positive comments and suggestions for improvement. The feedback is read aloud at the meeting and then given to the writer. From this format, our members are finding that they are learning how to improve their individual written work. Many of us are already published …

Looking for a safe haven where you can submit work, get a critique that won't crush your soul? And, of course, have fun? We formed in 2008 as a place where writers could share work without fear. People who want to compete or tear others down for the sake of tearing others down need not apply. Granted, you will get constructive criticism. There's no point in sharing work if we can't grow from it. Rules of Engagment Work should be submitted by 9:00 p.m. three days prior to the meet up. Submissions …

Thank you for your interest in the LA Writers Workshop! We focus on providing constructive critiques on work and require each member to bring projects in on a regular rotation.  As great as your story may be, our goal isn't to tell you how much we love it, its about letting you know what doesn't work. We currently have openings for another 2-5 members.

There are already plenty of writers' groups, but most of them are geared toward hobbyists rather than toward writers who think big (I know because I used to belong to three of them). If you're a self-published author having difficulty selling or promoting your work, or you're a writer who's frustrated by organizers who've told you what you are and aren't allowed to write, or you'd like to write and self-publish but are intimidated by the process, SPACE is for you. My name is Martin, and I've bee …
