Writing group meeting in Washington Heights

Wanna know what makes me happy? When a longtime member of this group moves to a new apartment and the first thing they tell me is that it'll be a great spot to have a meeting, that puts a big-ass smile on my face -- and that's the situation here. Ryan hosted multiple times at his place in East Harlem, and now he's welcoming us to Washington Heights. The night before we meet, I'll send all the details to people on the RSVP list. For now, just know that the place is wheelchair accessible, and also, if you plan to bring snacks, DO NOT bring anything with nuts because our host is very allergic. That's it for now. See you there! -Zack

The Writing Group – Halloween Horror Session

Join us for first ever genre-specific session! In honor of the holiday, come have a festive cocktail, snack on some candy, and bring your horror genre writing to share. Costumes optional but strongly encouraged. **Itinerary** Our social hour starts at **6 o'clock**, and you can come and meet other writers, enjoy a happy hour, socialize and hang out as you like until 7 when we will start readings. At **7 o'clock** we formally get together as a group to listen to readings from those looking for feedback. * We do not select readers based on order of arrival or a sign-up sheet, so if you have work until late but still want to come and read, you can! * Each reader gets five (5) minutes to read, so please select a section of work which is appropriate for that time limit. * We welcome narrative prose (fiction and non-fiction), poetry, and scripts (be they for screen or stage). This week, we are reading **horror genre works only**! * We'll then spend another five (5) minutes in discussion. This is time for the listeners to provide feedback on the reading and discussing the craft in general. We welcome (and encourage) constructive criticism, so long as it is done with respect. This is just as important as the reading, and is done as an open conversation not lead by the reader or the host, so no hand raising required! * We try to get to as many people who want to read as we can, so if there are a lot of attendees we will be very strict on time. * We take a short break at **8 o'clock** . At 9 o'clock we finish readings, but you are welcome to stick around! Meet new friends, connect with old ones, exchange longer works for review, or just let loose.
