Shannon CC Nedelka

I'm a full time physician, full time mom, part time writer who has always has too many irons in the fire.  I've had some success with publishing my short fiction in literary journals and I'm currently focusing on the novel form.  My current project is a historical/literary fiction novel spanning turn of the century Kansas to near future Texas, following the women of one family.  I'm looking for other fiction writers who are serious about their craft but also like to have fun with and take joy in their writing.  I'd love to find other writers to meet on zoom (or Discord- happy to host a server) on a monthly basis to exchange craft tips, podcast and book recommendations, publishing knowledge and to offer each other encouragement and feedback as we need it.  I'm looking more for camraderie with others in the midst of a long project than feedback; I think too much feedback too soon just kills creativity.  I'd be up for having writing sessions too, maybe taking turns with a warm up exercise and then each working on our various projects.  It would be great to connect with others who share a goal of publication and are looking for likeminded community. What's the perfect group size?  Six to ten-ish?  Sounds good to me.

Hi! I have been writing poetry and short fiction mostly on my own for the last couple years. I take a lot of classes and have participated in a couple of workshops. I'm looking for a writing group to share work and feedback with. I'd also be happy to work with a group that discusses ideas, craft and process, and contemporary themes. Some of the topics I am most interested in are feminisim, environmentalism, social justice, truth-seeking.

Cosmic Poet

I love to drown in the ocean of imagination, hence, I use the pen sometimes pencil or crayon to create a magical world I love to read/write anything between poetry, art, literature, history, psych, philosophy, mystical science, and religious teachings. I am an introvert, well lets just ambivert, though I have a short social battery, or rather I tend to burn my social battery real fast; I am shy only to a keen observer, and I am what other people might call a geek. Last but not least I am a published author of a slef-help/business entreprenuership book with pretty awesome reviews. I am to connect with other writers of any genre, open minded & eager to meet other creative minds.

Hi! As a fifth-year trying to study UI/UX design and media communication, I realized only listening and re-framing other people's stories was not for me. I wanted to tell my own and be able to continue cheerleading others to do the same in the writing industry. I've only recently started to write short stories to make my friends read and critique, but I have the most academic experience in literary analysis and journalistic writing. So in turn, I'd love to find a group excited to share not only their diverse writing and writing expertise, but also an open environment to freely express our ideas and goals. Excited to connect with you all!

I'm a new author. I've been published once, and I'd like to meet other writers to talk about our work. I write just about anything, but I love writing fiction mostly. Particularly speculative fiction. I'm hoping I can find a group that can offer insight and good critiques and knowledge of the publishing industry.
