Moonlighters Writers

Join us for a virtual gathering of aspiring writers, where we share our stories, provide feedback, and support each other’s creative endeavours. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, this event is a great opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals from the comfort of your own home. So grab your favourite beverage, cozy up in your favourite spot, and let’s dive into the world of writing together. We can’t wait to see what stories you have to share!

Open to new members
Mondays fortnightly
6:00-7:00am
Online via Zoom

No Boundaries

Whatever genre we write in, we can learn from stepping outside our safe zone. If you think that a fantasy writer can learn from a historical fiction author, or a long form journalist has something to offer a romance novelist, this might be your group. No Boundaries is open to writers of fiction and creative nonfiction who are looking for an environment where constructive criticism is exchanged with good heart, occasional humour and a willingness to be surprised.

While some writing experience is preferred, highly motivated beginners may be accepted. It is assumed that members are aiming for publication in some form, whether that be traditional book publishing, blogging, magazine articles, self-publishing, Substack, Medium, or any of the myriad ways we get our work to the outside world.

Storyism

A friendly group of men and women of different ages and life experiences and a group involved in a variety of writing forms. We hope to provide a forum which stimulates an exchange of ideas to extend the experience, knowledge and enjoyment of the creative writing process. Our purpose is to provide an environment in which fellow writers may present their work for critiquing within both a supportive and helpful environment. Our aim is to motivate and inspire each of us to improve our own writing practice.
