South Whulge Speculative Fiction Writers’ Group – BYOB Book Club
September 30 at 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm PDT
The South Whulge Speculative Fiction Writers’ Group has been meeting weekly since January 2020. The South Whulge Speculative Fiction Writers’ Group is more than just a critique group. We are a community of writers who host workshops and decompression sessions to help the members of the group grow through learning and socializing with other writers.
We’re a mixed group of writers who are just starting out and writers who have been writing for years. We aim to improve our writing and advance our careers through honest and knowledgeable feedback, deliberate practice, and community building. Our public facing hub is here on Reddit, where we share our upcoming workshops. But we host all of our actual meet-ups on Slack (text based. no video or audio). On a semi-regular basis we do in person meet-ups to write, explore local parks and businesses, and socialize.
We are open to speculative fiction writers based in Thurston, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, and Pierce counties in Washington state!
We meet from 5 PM to 7 PM on this schedule every month:
- First Tuesday- Critiques
- Second Tuesday- Decompress and talk shop
- Third Tuesday- Critiques
- Fourth Tuesday- Workshop/tutorials
- Occasional Fifth Tuesday- Bring Your Own Book Book Club
Come talk about what your reading and how it’s informing your work or feeding your fire. Bring library recs, small press recs, local author recs, and Bookshop, library, and non-Amazon links to share with others.
