We are a small group of writers, each with a unique story or series of stories to tell.  Our goal is to meet a couple times a month to inspire, encourage and support one another as we commit to our writing journeys.  Ultimately each of us aspires to get published and to keep on writing as long as the muse calls.  We are purposely keeping this circle of writers small to maintain the intimacy and integrity of the group - similar to a book club.  However, we do have a waiting list for future member …

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.

Each member reads two to three submissions each week, and submits a piece of anywhere from 10 - 15 page …

This is a group for writers of all levels who are actively working on developing their craft. You can be working on anything, but the key words here are "active" and "working". We are a community of writers who like to get together with our fellow writers and exchange ideas, lend support and gentle and constructive critique. We will meet twice monthly on Wednesday evenings for a light meal and to share our work and to socialize and network with our peers.

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 …
