If you look further back in the discussion you will see some information about writers groups in the area as I asked the question myself a few months back. I would be willing to join in on a new group as well if you find another person or two interested. I work on the southside and live in Franklin so that would potentially be convenient for me.

I'm on the southside and would love to join a group. I live in Mooresville. I'm a technical writer for a living but I write fiction outside of work. Let me know if you would like to start a group or if you hear of one in our "neighborhood".

I live in Greenwood and would also be very interested in a Southside writers group. I am a member of the Online Writer's Worshop for Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror and have sold 4 short stories over the past few years. I have a more than full time job and 3 kids and find that a group helps me stay motivated to keep writing. So, please count me in if this goes anywhere.

Best,

Matt

Gordon. If you are still interested in a writers group on the south side there is one that meets twice a month at the Barnes & Noble in Greenwood at the mall. We meet Sundays from 4-6 pm in the Starbucks area. We meet next on Sunday, September 13. Our groupd has 5 members currently with a wide range of writing interests and experiences and we regularly critique each other's work. Let me know if you are interested in attending. Thanks.

Can I get an update? Looking to join, am new, and am very willing to learn from anyone (although I would rather learn from the best).

Is this group still meeting?: Barnes & Noble in Greenwood at the mall, 4-6 pm in the Starbucks area. And, when is the next meeting.

Is there a writer's group in/near Terre Haute?

Hello~

I would love to be in a writer's group! I am in Brazil, but I am at ISU everyday, and can meet almost anytime. Let me know if you want to get together :)

Sorry - I don't check this feed very often. What do you write? I'd be interested in talking about starting a group. Perhaps we'd find others who are interested also? My email is dmweiden@gmail.com

Did a writer's group get started on the southside?  I have just moved back to the southside of Indy after two years of working in Florida.  I am a member of the Florida Writers Association and I was part of a very good critique group while in FL.  I would love to get involved with a similar group back up here.

Just a helpful comment. I attended a small writer's group in California for a while that was really helpful. At first, I thought maybe I was there just for some nice social interaction. However, one night I experimented with ... and learned ... a KEY point that has helped me in much of my writing since that time.

The other writers and I took a few minutes to write on an assigned topic BUT it had to be produced in a BOTH a short time frame and word (volume) frame.

That has helped me to condense my thoughts and the presentation of them. Before that time I did not purposefully produce redundancy ... but, since then I have come to realize I can convey IDEAS and THOUGHTS in a more capsulized form.

This has also helped me a lot on Twitter.

Try practicing this.

Your friend,

I'm a long time member of an Indy based writers group and we are looking for a few new members.  We've been around since 1989 and gain members by invite only.  And though I say we're Indy based, our membership spans from Camby to Plainfield to Carmel. 

We are a professional writers group with most of us carrying multiple publications (for instance, I've had three novels published to date).  We're not looking to teach writing, but to assist each other in enhancing our work.

If anyone here is interested in joining, please send me a note to teri at teribarnett . com and we can talk further!

I'm a proofreader and editor and I'll be leading a workshop on 4/12/12 on tips and techniques for self-editing. It's open to writers of all ages and experience levels.  It will take place at The Service Center at Lafayette Square.  Starts promptly at 5:15 and will end at 7 p.m.  It's FREE!   Advance registration is requested.  If you send me your email address, I'll direct you to the invitation form on their site, which contains more info.  I hope you'll help spread the word among the southside writing community.  Thanks!   Heidi Newman, proofreader@ameritech.net
