Would love to have an in-person group here in Chiang Mai or an online group of people who have lived in the places I know best - New England, New Orleans, Southeast Asia - for weekly meetups.

Howdy!
I'm a poet, and creative non-fic/memoir writer living in the PNW. I've been studying creative writing for ten years at UVU, where I edited poetry for the school literary journal. I've also interned at the lit mag Juxtaprose where I edited creative non-fic. I've had a few poems published but only on the school lit mag (Touchstones).
I live on a tiny island so I sadly won't be able to do in-person meetings. I am looking for an online social group to join wherein I can help others with their writing, get help with mine, talk about our shared writerly complaints and delights, etc. Right now I am working on a chapbook of poetry about generational trauma and inherited illness, using the metaphor of environmental issues in our nearby landscapes. I am hoping to make some lasting writerly friendships!
potential writing group profile - will update later if we use :)
The Globe Review strives to create an accepting and diverse community of writers based on the core values of tolerance and creativity. It aims to empower marginalized and in any way oppressed social and ethnic groups, and to discover future leaders of the literary world.
Just started writing looking for a group who can give me feedback , ideas , and tips.
Emergent Literary is an assemblage of black and brown work. To the editors, Emergent refers to urgency, immediacy, inception and birth, beginning, forefront, and now. It also refers to the philosophy of emergence as interreliant entities combine to create a radical new wholeness. The magazine pays homage to the Combahee River Collective and their foundational work in identity politics and radical liberation. The editors are also inspired by the legacies of Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press and Broadside Press.
We welcome work from black and brown makers in all genres, as well as work that reaches across multiple genres or obscures the boundaries between them.
Before submitting, we ask that you take a look at our mission statement in order to get a sense of the journal.
Boy mom x3. Horse mom x4. Glamorous sheepherder. On an eternal pursuit of bending time and space for writing and riding.
I have an MFA from Goddard College. I am an author, editor and avid reader. My family is multi-cultural. I am liberal. I am a lover of poetry, outsider art and vintage typewriters and I am passionate about hybrid writing that refuses to commit to traditional genres and labels. Stories that boldly trespasses into unfamiliar territory & pieces that naturally blend with other art forms light me up. I enjoy turning the lens both inward and outward.
My other passions are The Divine Feminine, Eastern & Yogic Studies, not just the Asanas, but the continual and connected dance between our inner & outer landscapes.
