Ernest Hemingway and other writers of the World War I era and its aftermath had a profound impact on Modern Literature. Gertrude Stein called them the "Lost Generation."

January: "By-Line: Ernest Hemingway-Selected Articles and Dispatches of Four Decades" by Ernest Hemingway February: "Three Lives" by Gertrude Stein March: "Winesburg, Ohio" by Sherwood Anderson April: "The Nick Adams Stories" by Ernest Hemingway May: …

The group meets the last Wednesday of every month to discuss New Yorker essays and short stories. The PLUS is a pre-meeting, separate discussion of a book ( fiction or non-fiction ) chosen in advance by the group. A member may participate in The New Yorker meeting without joining the book discussion. All essays, short stories, and books are chosen at each meeting by the group. In some cases the group may decided to devote multiple sessions to a book.

… You can bring a work you want critiqued (such as a short story, novel chapter, synopsis, query letter, outline, or anything SF related). However, don't feel compelled to bring a story if you don't have one finished, as this is more than just a critique group. We will also discuss the joys, triumphs, and just plain FUN of writing SF, as well as its occasional trials and tribulations. You can talk about favorite authors, characters (yours, or another author's), SF books, series, magazines, or even …

This group was started to bring people ages 40+ together who share an interest in reading classic fiction and non-fiction (out loud).  The group will meet in Forest Hills in a member's apartment.  No purchasing of books is required, nor is reading anything in advance. Rather we will pass the book around as we read. It is not required that everyone read aloud.  Reading is done on a voluntary basis.  You are welcome to come and just listen! The host will provide cold (non alcoholic) beverages. Gue …

  Writing Hemingway/Fitzgerald   We are a group of serious minded writers focused on publishing our work;  socializing takes place outside the meetup time. Members rarely miss a meetup.   We keep in small groups where everyone knows your name and you are an integral part of the discussions.  Nobody is meant to feel like they are a beginner or an outsider. We are one of the few groups that meet at an urban writers colony in Manhattan.  This gives us exposure to many successful writers who publish …

We value all input from each other and often leave the meetings energized. So come join us!

We actively develop our skills by sharing current works and providing critiques at our bi-weekly meetings. Published and unpublished writers are all welcome. We are serious about our writing, and sincere and helpful in our critiques. Plus, we're nice people!

Writing, whether for fun or profit, can be a lonely business. That's why it's nice to have other writers to hang out with, share what we're working on and, basically, keep us company while we write. I often find it hard to stick with a writing assignment at home, and have often thought "Wouldn't it be great to have a writing buddy to work alongside, each on our own project?" That's what I hope Writing with Friends can be for us all. A way to set aside time to either meet and share, write just fo …
