Meet other local writers and let creativity bloom! Come to a Writers Meetup to review work, trade literary tips, make friends and have fun! All writers -- and should-be writers -- are welcome! Specific details This meetup formed, phoenix-like, out of the ashes of the Raleigh writer's group that had been in existence since June 2005, and which I began being moderator of in September 2006. Our format is to read our writings aloud at each meeting, each work read can be up to 10 pages, double-spac …

Someone recently said, poetry is not meant to be read quietly, but to be listened to. So just like in the Dead Poets Society movie, I would like to meet with people who also love poetry, love to read it aloud, love to perform it, love to talk about it and love to write it. - Let's come together sharing poems and why they touch us the way they do.

We have on-line meetings and support, where you can upload pages, get reviews, and keep creative when you can't attend physical meetings.  All levels of writers are here... from the "It sounded like …

Hieroglyphics on the walls of Egypt was once believed to be some secret magical wisdom understood and used only by Egyptian priests. This belief remained until scholars discovered the symbols described sounds; the pictures indicated words or syllables and it became a language to convey ideas. Egyptians continued use of the ideographic and syllabic systems, even after alphabets were discovered. Likewise, when Barack Hussein Obama, II was first heard, many pondered the representation of such a nam …

We do something a wee bit different every month. Last month it was Show 'n Tell, this month: MANNA (where everyone is invited to bring something that has extraordinary value to them and to no one else.) Next month? Who knows? Something a wee bit different. Come join us amid the sometimes bustle of coffee, tea and cupcakes, one Tuesday a month, at the Looking Glass Cafe.

The purpose of this group is to connect with the other poets outside of the exercises. This year we'll also get to know each other and help and support each other in our poetry and writing endeavors.

A writers group of like minded individuals from Cumberland, Hoke, Robeson, Moore, and surrounding NC counties who are committed to the success of each other. Together we share a host of information with each other, providing wholesome support and encouragement to potential and established writers. Currently we get together twice a month to review manuscripts. This is primarily for novels or short stories.

Always wanted to write, but can't get started? Stuck midway through a project? Writers need time devoted to the doing, and this group aims to set aside and protect that time. Unlike other writing groups that mainly critique manuscripts or give prompts for writing at home, we focus on generating new writing during the meeting. During our gatherings in a quiet setting, we will write exercises and offer feedback without damaging writing or writers. Those with a piece in progress may choose either t …

If you are a poet and live in, or have the ability to come to Hillsborough, this group is for you! Share your work in a relaxed, non-snobby environment with people who know that poetry is more than just a stupid hobby. :)

There are some great writing groups in Wake County already, but what I need the most is some time away from the house to be able to actually work. To that end I’ve started this group to provide write-ins for every author, regardless of genre or skill level. This is a writing practice group where you can work on a specific project, find your inner voice, or just try your hand at writing for the first time. Writing prompts will be given at the start of each session (and on Twitter @WakeWriters) bu …

This is a group (and event) geared toward local Triad spoken word artists (from poets to script).

Our mission: to publish a monthly literary digital magazine in Greensboro with the support and literary work of our group of writers and poets. We need poetry, prose, scripts, articles, essays and more. We will have guest speakers, brain storming sessions, workshopping and opportunities to be published. All are welcome! This group is sponsored by Hennen's Observer (hennensobserver.com).

While there are lots of meetups for lovers of poetry, information about where and when one can speak to an audience is widely dispersed and often difficult to track down. TPOM's goal is to create and maintain a regular schedule of poetry open mics where poets and poetry lovers can read their own work or that of a writer that inspires them. There is no cost to join and even if you don't want to read, TPOM invites you to join and be an audience member.
