    Any writers in the Reno, NV area?

    Of course I'd like to read it. Wouldn't have come here if I wasn't looking for new stuff to read. Through PM or inbox here is fine. Still working on first draft of my new project, and it's really not fantasy genre, so I'm reluctant to share it here.

    Going to UNR in the fall. :3 Hope you're having fun there. In terms of meeting up, it's not obligatory, but send along what you have if you want some edits/critique. I enjoy a good character development dialogue. What's your word count sitting at? Sometimes, it doesn't matter how many you...

    Adult writers moving into YA

    Howdy! I was just looking for writers in my area (without the $25 a year charge for the one other group I found :p). I'm usually up at the TMCC Dandini Campus, if you're ever near it. Otherwise, it'd just be nice to have someone to write with online. Thanks for posting this. Hope I'm not too late.

    Hello

    Hiya. My name is Brit, but I usually go by Tribbles. Don't ask. I'm not a Star Trek fan. :/ I'm looking for a good writing community, and you guys seem right on the mark. I look forward to reading your own works and getting some help on new projects.
