I have a Writer's Group that meets at Barnes & Noble (Nashua, NH) every Wednesday Night. It's a reading/critiquing group that's open to all writers of all levels.
Information is on Barnes & Noble's website under events, and or feel free to email me at malashiel@gmail.com with any questions.

I'm looking to meet up with serious writers for discussions, bouncing of ideas and such. I live in Quebec, Canada and plan on traveling to my hometown in southern NH once a month. Are there any such groups floating around?

I'm in Hampstead (very southern NH). I belong to the NH Writer's Project, but find their fees a bit steep for one day workshops. I write quite a bit and in the past have had things published in some newspapers, etc. Now I'm still writing -- but just filing my essays away and not doing anything with them. I think perhaps some kind of semi-formal group might help the self-confidence. Anyone know of any?

Hello everyone, I'm a brand new member here and I wanted to introduce myself. I'm just beginning my career as a professional writer and editor and I'm still learning the ropes. Any advice I can get from the professionals and veterans out there will always be appreciated. Please consider visiting my blog: http://concordjournal.wordpress.com. Thanks for having me and I look forward to meeting all of you.

Jacqueline,

I think the New Hampshire Writers project used to keep tabs on this kind of info, you might try dropping them a note or phone call... http://www.nhwritersproject.org/

Good luck!

Does anyone know of any writers' groups in the Nashua area that welcome nonfiction writers? I have found a bunch of groups catering to aspiring novelists, but not much else. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have no idea if I'm posting in the correct place or not (I'm finding this a confusing site).
Does anyone else do humor? I write mainly essays, in somewhat the Jean Kerr, Erma Bombeck style - observations on everyday things; just not through a very serious eye. I frequently feel this doesn't make me a "writer", and that humor is "fluff" in the world of writing. It also is somewhat akin to being a standup comic. It's a bit of a risk to put one's sense of humor "out there" where it might not be understood. I've also done some newspaper work writing an Entertainment column since I was a caterer for many years (lot of material there...). Even though some humor crept in, at least it was "informative" writing.
I've been hesitant to sign up for the NH Writer's Project upcoming Writer's Day because I feel "I haven't suffered enough" turning out light reading. Also my brother, Jack Falla, was an extremely well known sportswriter, who passed away six months ago. I had stopped writing since I felt I didn't want to be in his shadow.
I've been writing essays "just for me" since he died. I'm in the "floundering stage" right now, and have been for awhile. I'd love to hear if anyone else feels their writing isn't serious enough to have merit, or if they see the world slightly off balance, as I do. Elizabeth

I'm pulling together a novel writing critique group in Nashua. If anyone is interested, please contact me. We'll meet 2-3 times per month for a couple of hours. The goal being to support and help each other with reaching publication.
