This is a group for local writers seeking to publish their creative works. As a writer and small publisher, I started this group to give writers a means to make their novels, short story collections, and other pieces of literature a published reality. It is not as difficult as people think, given this modern age of technology; with the support of other writers and the know-how, those wanting to become authors can bypass all the rejection that comes with being an aspiring novelist and go straight …

This is a group meant to bring together people of a similar interest in this area. Meetups will be scheduled as ideas are presented or meetings are needed/wanted. All meetings are optional and open to anyone in the group (RSVP's are suggested before hand) as well as any friends or family that also have an interest in attending.

Looking for a group of people to critique your latest genre fiction? Looking for inspirational talk about the art of writing? STOP. This Meetup isn't for you. But if you're a working professional writer or a writer who wants to learn about the business—getting an agent, getting published, self-publishing, marketing, making a living as a freelancer—then this is the place. We do what writers have done since time immemorial: gather in a cool bar, drink, and talking about the business of writing.

Steampunk is a literary genre, a sci-fi sub-genre, a design aesthetic, and a philosophy. This group tries to reach all aspects of Steampunk through watching movies, reading books, costuming, building stuff, parties and involving ourselves in charitable events. If you have the desire to do all things Steampunk then this group is for you.

We live in a time of unprecedented interest in spirituality. Spiritual experiences are no longer the exclusive domain of religious leaders, saints, and mystics. They are a part of everyday living for millions of people. And these people have questions: Are their experiences real? What do they mean? How can a person have more experiences of the Divine? Eckankar offers answers. It is an ancient spiritual teaching and a modern-day religion that offers spiritual techniques and resources for an indi …

Rational thought doesn't always lead to atheism. This is a group for people who have allowed reason to lead them away from "revealed" religion and mythology, and toward a belief in a "creator" based on science, nature, and the rational thought that the same "creator" gave to us all. You will find no dogma here, nor prescribed beliefs...no prophets nor holy books...just some folks who experience all of creation with wide eyed wonder, realizing that as science reveals more about it, we will probab …

This is a group for a study and discussion of all things "woman". We will be reading and discussing books about women, finding guest speakers to come to meetups and talk to us about different things, and I think movie nights would be great too where we can host small parties and discuss them. Even though this will be a pro-woman group, we welcome all genders and identities - male, female, transgendered, bi, gay, straight, everyone is welcome. Please Note: This is a group meant to uplift, empowe …
