A Melody of Poetry
If you are a writer of/lover of poetry, A Melody of Poetry is for you.
Poetry is melodic, sharp, uplifting, painful, cathartic, lyrical, revolutionary; it speaks of love, anger, betrayal, death, life, written/spoken/spit in a myriad of forms. From rhyming patterns to free verse, A Melody of Poetry embraces it all.
We meet every Sunday evening from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm, EST. This is open to anyone around this globe as long as the time zone works for you. Sharing and discussions of self-written work are the main points of our evenings. Themed evenings(i.e. Women's History Month; Black History Month; etc), Workshops, and Guest Artists are events we celebrate. Check out our calendar for all special evenings.
A Melody of Poetry. Weekly on Sundays from 6:30 pm to 8:00 EST.
A Prompting of Writers: Your Challenge to Imagine
A Prompting of Writers is not your average prompt writing group.
Two prompts a session, challenges inherent in both. You will be asked to write in a different genre, &/or tackle a style of prose or poetry that is outside of your comfort zone. We write, share, and give constructive feedback.
The idea is to hone your writing skills while having FUN!
We meet every Saturday online, 10:00 am to Noon, EST. There are members across the US and beyond. We have a great group of regulars and are always looking to add new members. If you make the Time Zone work for you: WELCOME!
A Very Important Meeting
Find us at http://averyimportantmeeting.com - We started A Very Important Meeting as a daily writer's retreat, an online space to strengthen your focus with mindfulness meditation and prioritize your writing among like-minded creatives. Concentration, productivity, and community: the essential building blocks of a thriving writer’s life, right there on your calendar. Sessions are appropriate for beginning meditators as well as those with an established practice, novice writers as well as published authors.
Bards Unbound
Based on the belief that poetry should not aim for the heads of the high brows but the hearts of the people, Bards Unbound is an online community dedicated to poets in their pursuit of sharing and growing together. Although we are based out of Greensboro, NC, our group is open to poets everywhere regardless of skill level. We meet on the 1st Saturday of month at 7pm-8:30pm EST. Feel free to request to join if you want to be a part of our community.
Benjamin Bards
Join us on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 4pm EST for a free discussion based workshop for poets of all skill levels from teens to adults. Share your own works for constructive criticism. Register by emailing kelsey.nation@greensboro-nc.gov.
Beyond LU
This is a closed group for students pursuing Lindenwood University's MFA with an emphasis in poetry.
Brooklyn Friends
For friends working on short stories than veer into the fantastic and grotesque. Queer-focused.
CAYA
CAYA stands for Come As You Are, a private critique group formed at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to stay connected, share writing, and offer support during sheltering in place without judgement or pressure, pajamas optional. We show up for each other biweekly to check-in, share writing, and offer feedback and support.
Creative Lotus
This writing group will focus on whatever the members need at the time. If we all feel umotivated to do our WIP we can do writing prompts or flash fiction. The point of this group is to schedule time to focus on creativity and writing. There is no long term goal or project needed.
Time can be spent on editing, writing, discussing, or anything.
