WRITING GROUPS
Click on the map to find your nearest writing group, using the
navigational buttons to zoom, drag etc. Click on an icon to read more about a group. If their name is underlined,
clicking it will link to their website. More groups - including those outside of the UK - will be added soon. Locations are sometimes
approximate, please read the description for correct information. If you would like your writing group to be included, please click

is not responsible for any mistakes or out-of-date information. If you do not see a writing group near you, please use the contact form with your location, and I will email you if I find out about a group.
More groups will be added soon.

He's reported to have written and submitted a short story every week, but we have both a "weekly" and a "monthly" participation level. Stop by our site anytime and join the throng!

We run writers groups and creative writing workshops throughout Los Angeles, including West Hollywood, Glassell Park / Gendale, El Segundo, and Hermosa Beach.

Paragraph Planet is a creative writing website which has been publishing one 75-word paragraph every day since November 2008. Famous authors, aspiring writers and occasional dabblers have all got involved, submitting a mixture of twist-in-the-tale flash fiction, evocative short, short fiction, openings
of published novels or brief moments captured. Get involved here. You can read over 1400 examples
in the archive section. There are also interviews with some of the
published authors who have submitted to the site, as well as an authors in which you can read an example paragraph from all authors who've submitted, and also link to dedicated pages with more info about regular contributors.
Finally, I've started compiling
a writing group map to help you find a writing group near you. And if you're still reading,
and want to know what else I do apart from Paragraph Planet, here's my
own website. All words and images (c)Paragraph Planet 2008-2013
