Hi there.  Welcome to Weird Austin Writers.  If you’re a writer but your goal is to be an author...this is your place.  Whatever a writer writes is art from the mind.  We're a talented group who like getting and giving feedback for manuscripts. This group is all about helping writers write better and get published. This Group will be doing: 2 Read, Workshop, and Chat meetups per month 1 Brainstorming session to get feedback on pre-manuscript ideas 1 Book Review session, where you talk about b …

Professional commitments have prevented the founding organizers of this group from continuing as the leaders, so we're in the process of re-booting and expect to resume meeting in March. Current members:  We'll stick pretty close to the group's original set up, and we hope you'll continue to participate.  New / Potential members:  Here's what we're about... This group is for writers who are seeking inspiration, grappling with writer's block, need a nudge (or shove) to get started, or are inter …

The ECWG is a group dedicated to experimental methods of collective writing, with more productivity as our great goal. This is not a group for writing critiques, nor is it a discussion group. We will be dedicating our energies to writing production. Some writers may collaborate together on their own project, many others will write individually yet within the group. Are you in the midst of a writer's block, seeking methods to break free? Are you a writer who is also a social individual? Methods m …

Everyone has a book, short story, screen play or something they have thought about writing. This group is about helping you write it. It is basically a think tank to help each other with ideas and sticking points and even give you a push in the right direction. We meet twice a month on Sunday afternoon for about 90 minutes or until everyone decides to leave. If you are kinda lazy about your writing and need a little push and can take a little helpful criticism, and laugh at yourself without gett …

Having trouble finishing your manuscript? Starting a term paper? Writing a long overdue love letter? Then this is the group for you! The Sit Down, Shut Up, and Write!

Overview Most of the time, WriteByNight is hard at work providing customized writers' services to novices and professionals alike. But on select days and times, we draw the shades, turn off our ringers and open our doors to writers on the prowl for a quiet, comfy haven where they can write, read, collaborate or just kick back and dream. We’ve got a library, writing prompts, coffee and free Wi-Fi. What more could a writer ask for? Objective Write Here allows you to carve out much-needed writing …

The purpose of this group is to assist each other to become successful, published authors - preferably megastars with enormous incomes. We will develop our writing, promotion, and performance skills, acquire technical skills in ebook and audible publication, critique each other and share access to a publishing sponsor, and assist each other to publish and enjoy the rewards of authorship. Some of us will collect, share, and publish stories ranging from fiction to fact to personal histories and/or …

This group is an open discussion group for those studying A Course in Miracles and the related material. We get together and share our experience of the Course, supporting each other in our removal of the blocks to the awareness of love's presence. Come, meet, and hang out for a couple of hours with other ACIM/DUers. Bring your friends, thoughts, ideas, experiences and anything you'd like to share. And remember to laugh! This group is for those who are grateful and enthusiastic about A Course I …

Like good actors, writers that draw on their emotional experiences often create the most compelling works. This creative non-fiction group is meant for people who have written fiction in the past and want to try their hand at personal essays or others ways of putting more of themselves into their writing, or writers like me who have focused on traditional non-fiction topics such as How To articles and want to add more color to their pieces. The focus will be on the craft of creative non-fiction …
