I'm an outdoor writer and environmental journalist. I'm a member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America, and teach a graduate class in environmental journalism at Dartmouth College. I also administer the Robert Traver Fly Fishing Writing Award for the John D. Voelker Foundation and the American Museum of Fly Fishing.

I've published two books about fly fishing. The Confluence is a group memoir co-written with six lifelong friends from college. Storied Waters is a narrative about a six-week trip to fly fish in waters made famous in literature and art. I write a monthly column called The Sporting Environment for the Maine Sportsman magazine.

My current project is a departure from outdoor writing and environmental issues (mostly). As of April 2021, I am finishing the first draft of a historical novel called Papscanee about the Dutch colony of Rensselaerswyck in the Hudson River valley during the 1640s near present day Albany. As my first foray into fiction, I am looking for feedback on my storytelling, characters and dialogue. I also want to depict the Native American characters and culture with respect and accuracy, overcoming the strong European colonial and religious bias in the historical record.

My goal is to bring this fascinating period of American history alive to a wider audience. The novel includes fictional and historical characters and imagines the daily lives and interactions between the Dutch colonists and the Mohawk and Mohican Indians amidst actual events based on the documented records of the period (1640s). The two protagonists are Annatje, a young Dutch woman, who becomes friends and trading partners with Capachick, a young Mohican man. Annatje and her husband Jacobus are farmers and fur traders near Papscanee Island. After a flood kills their neighbors, Annatje and Jacobus adopt their friends' orphan children and move their family from their farm to Beverwyck (later Albany) to build an inn and tavern. Historical Dutch characters include Kiliean van Rensselaer, Arendt van Curler, Adriaen van der Donck, Willem Kieft, Peter Stuyvesant and Brant van Slichtenhorst. Historical Indian characters include Papsikenekas, Skiwias (Aepjen), Canaqueese and Agheroense. 

I anticipate writing a sequel about Beverwyck in the 1650s and 1660s.

Hi! My name is Caroline.

I studied English and Creative Writing in college, and miss the opportunity to workshop, create, and get inspired.

I'd love to join a group that could help me to continuously improve my work, and allow me to be engaged with others who love to write!

I've worked as a freelance editor/writer for 15 years. I was an English major (focusing on creative writing) at University of Maryland. I also tutor students of all ages in writing, reading, and English as a Second Language. I have written website copy for small businesses, newsletters and press releases for nonprofits, reviews and poetry for literary magazines, and resumes for individuals,   After receiving a seminary degree, I worked as a chaplain in retirement homes and hospices  for 10 years. I am writing a book about my chaplain experience,  covering spiritual lesson I learned from my patients and injustices within the health industry.  I am also writing a memoir focused on the realities a fat woman faces in American society. Finally, I enjoy writing form and non-form poetry.

I have been a digital non-fiction writer for as long as I can remember now, and I have recently made the switch into fiction. As a relatively young fiction writer with borderline unrealistic aspirations which my ambition would never allow me to consider unrealistic (crazy delusional thing, ambition), I'm looking to meet other writers in different milestones of their writer journeys and learn as much as I can from their stories and the paths they've treaded on. Apart from being new to the world of fiction I'm also new to this crazy concrete jungle of a city and I would love to socialise with writers from all walks of life in any way, shape or form this pandemic allows us to. 

I've written since I was young, but once I got busy making a living as an educator my writing was most often set aside. Over the years I've had a few short pieces, non-fiction and fiction, published. I took an early retirement four years ago and have been writing more than ever before. I am looking for a writers' group where I can get feedback on my writing as well as read and learn from the writing of others. I have a BA in English, a MA in Education and a MFA in Film/Video.

Writing has been a long-time passion of mine. As of now I am unpublished and I am seeking writing groups to help cultivate my craft. I love to write and I have yet to find a group near me for writing workshops or friendly critiques. I write mostly poetry and fiction but I read pretty much everything.

Hello everyone!

My name is Cendrine Marrouat and I am a French-born Canadian photographer, poet, and the multi-genre author of 30+ books. In 2019, I founded the PoArtMo Collective and co-founded Auroras & Blossoms with David Ellis. A year later, we launched PoArtMo (Positive Art Month and Positive Art Moves) and created the Kindku / Pareiku, two forms of poetry.

I am also the creator of the Sixku, Flashku, and Reminigram.

I'm interested in meeting fellow writers to exchange ideas and build a support system. 

I read a lot of philosophy, neuroscience, ethics, essays, and anything to do with engaging the world. I am a physician, scientist, and explorer with a career in disaster work and research publications. In the past five years, my writing has focused on essays - creative and persuasive - and I am now writing a philosophic walking memoir. My essays have been published in The Atlantic, Washington Post, Health Affairs, JAMA, NEJM, and PCT Communicator.
