I live in the Boston suburbs (Dedham) and would like to join a writers' group along the same idea as the group I belonged to in NY for many years. We met once a month for lunch.  Altogether, there were about 30 members: journalists, non-fiction writers, and novelists, like me. We didn't read or critique one another's work. What we did was network--trade information about agents, editors, media.  Anything relevant to the business aspects of our work. We reported on what had happened to us since the last time. As a first novelist who didn't know many writers, I found it immensely helpful. Grub Street is wonderful, but if you're not interested in taking courses, it doesn't provide the kind of support and connections that a writers' group does.

Hello All,

I'm originally from Dorchester now living in Haverhill. Just beginning to connect to the writing scene in an around NE. I'd love to get involved at Grub Street at some point. I am hoping to attend an event in Salem-- http://www.salemlitfest.com/

What other events in the area have any of you attended?

Janet- I met Kathy Power in a Grub Street workshop.  Her story is pretty incredible.

Hi, All,

Whew, looks like i'm the village elder in this group--which is fine with me. I hope it's good with you all. I'm also a flaming introvert. But I love Boston (been here 16 years now), and I'm a writer, so I'm giving this a try. 

My 2nd nonfiction book is coming out this spring. Working title is Pursued by Conscience: Former Fugitive Katherine Ann Power. Based on my many interviews with her when she was in prison for antiwar-related armed robberies and manslaughter (the latter unplanned). Anybody remember her surrender in 1993? Your reactions?

Janet

Hi Ladies!

If anyone is interested in having a bi-monthly or monthly "meet up" in or near Boston please contact me.

I've been in Boston (South Shore) for three years now and finally my life has settled down enough that I have begun my first novel.

Schedules and commitments can be crazy- so all the more reason to find local writers you can count on for support! 

I've attempted meet up type groups before but things seem to fall apart because the people who 'join' the group are not actually writing and are not committed to the process or craft.

I would really love to meet other women writers who share my passion for writing and who are sincere about supporting and encouraging fellow writers.

I hope to hear from some or all of you! :)

Hi Boston!  I'm brand new to SheWrites, but I joined Grub Street a few months ago and have had great experiences there so far.  However, I haven't really had a chance to connect with other members beyond the classroom.  Are there any other Grubbies here?

Had a great time in Boston in October when I was on book tour. I'm heading back again in two weeks to speak at Cambridge Friends School on The Wisdom to Know the Difference. Please check out the invitation and come on down: http://www.shewrites.com/events/the-wisdom-to-know-the-7

I'll be giving a talk next Monday at lunch time at the downtown Boston Borders, if any of you can make it. I'll be speaking about my book The Wisdom to Know the Difference: When to Make a Difference--and W..., which was endorsed by the Dalai Lama. Would love to meet some fellow SheWriters. Event details are here or on my website.
