Comic, Graphic Novel, and Visual Writing Group
The Comics, Graphic Novel, and Visual Writing Group is led by working comic book author Christof Bogacs.
While this group is primarily focused on comics and graphic novels, it’s suitable for anyone writing in a medium that combines words and pictures. Think everything from comics to picture books and illustrated novels. Whether your establish or emerging, this group will provide a safe and focused space to work and get constructive feedback. This group is in-person but it is also possible to join remotely.
Daylight Poets

Fourth Friday Night Queens
This group is a supportive community of discerning readers and writers, focused on sharing work, giving and receiving thoughtful feedback, and motivating each other. Together, we aim to uphold a high standard in our writing by learning from one another and engaging in meaningful critique.
Ink Black
A group formed from the 2025 Writing Group Information Day. We support each other in developing and pursuing ideas for non-fiction writing. We have members at various levels of their writing practice and love the chance to continue to learn from each other.
Life in Chapters
Our writing group brings together people committed to the craft of telling true stories. Whether you are shaping a family history, exploring personal experience through the essay form, or working toward a full-length memoir, you will find a welcoming and attentive community of fellow writers. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds and stages of practice. What unites us is a serious dedication to our work and a shared belief that every story deserves careful attention. Meetings combine constructive, respectful feedback with thoughtful discussion of craft, including structure, voice, memory and the ethics of writing about real lives.
We aim to provide an encouraging environment where members can take creative risks, refine their work and build the discipline that sustained writing requires. New members of all experience levels are warmly invited to join us.
Memoir Writing
A supportive and mutually-encouraging group of intermediate level writers who are working on a memoir or life stories that they would like to bring to a publishable standard. We hope to also cover how to write a submission to a publisher, research publishers, editors, literary agents, etc. Our group purpose is to sensitively critique each other’s work with pieces sent via email in advance of the meeting, ensure a safe space for writers through confidentiality, and foster a respectful and supportive group process.
Monday Night Children’s Writers
A dynamic and supportive group of published and aspiring writers of all genres in the kids’ lit spectrum. We provide a safe space for constructive critiquing, share tips, strategies, information and resources re writing and publishing. We celebrate group members’ successes and provide support against setbacks. Our group purpose is to provide a supportive, productive and constructive environment for writers to develop their work towards the goal of publication and to enhance and guide each other’s understanding and skills in the craft of writing.
