Do you love science and books? This group is for anyone fascinated with science in literature and having stimulating conversations with peers. We will be reading a book a month that embraces a scientific theme and hopefully bring in experts on the topic to facilitate the discussions. We will read books that both capture the pulse of the scientific community and the unrealized potential of science and it's impact on our lives. Let's learn and have fun at the same time!

Every month we read the best book as chosen by our members. We then meet and discuss them. If the book we chose has been made in to a movie or a play, then we might schedule an additional meetup event.  If you are fond of reading and would enjoy discussing books like Three Cups of Tea, The Help, and The Art of Racing in the Rain, we would love to have you as a member of our group.

Get together with other Gig Harbor area readers who enjoy discussing their latest read book. You can be part of the planning process in choosing the next books to read. Full Moon Art Gallery will host the Book Club Meetings and provide free coffee and tea - members are welcome to bring other beverages. Meetings will take place on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

This is a group for meeting to discuss books, preferably in small groups. Anyone can set up an event by choosing the book, a location, and the size they want their group to be. It can be any size but it must be designated it at the start. That way, someone who wants a small group doesn't sign up for a book then end up in a room with 25 other people. The possibilities are endless - a light hearted discussion of a novel with a glass of wine, a serious discussion of a classic over pizza, a dis …

Have you ever walked into Barnes & Noble and wanted to buy a book because it had a cool, interesting or pretty cover? Don't get me wrong, the book has to be interesting too, but I bet most of us have a stack of books at home with lovely covers and now we need some motivation to read them. This is the kind of book club where the discussion only gets rigorous if there was something interesting/relatable/discussable in the book. We don't have a list of questions to read from (although you are more …

If you are interested in reading serious contemporary literature that includes prize winners as well as well reviewed fiction and non-fiction, let's get together for thoughtful, indepth conversations so we can share our insights and ideas, and deepen our thinking and appreciation. I am looking for readers in the Vancouver area that can commit to meeting one afternoon or an evening once a month, and willing to assist with sharing the facilitation of the meetings. We can rotate meetings at our hom …

I really like the Redmond Sci-Fi & Fantasy book club but thought there might be enough interest to justify a more local club. We will pick a different Sci-Fi or Fantasy book each month to read and discuss.

Do you like to read?  Do you enjoy the New York Times best sellers? Would you like to meet new people? If so, this is the book club for you. I figured if it's a New York Times Bestseller, chances are it's pretty dang good.  If you agree, consider giving this meet up a try? Except for May, we're currently planning to meet the 3rd Saturday of each month.  When the 3rd Saturday is a holiday weekend, we'll probably move it up or back a week for the convenience of the people who travel on those long …

We’re a small writing group made up of commercial fiction writers working on novels for publication (either traditional or indie.) Our goal is to help each other progress towards publication through constructive critique, sharing of information and experience, and building a strong network. We can only fit a group of 5-6 novelists, each of whom submits a chapter (5000 words or less) each week to the group for feedback, critique, and support. We're structured this way because we think the it's th …

This group is for 20 & 30 something women interested in participating in a monthly book club and some social outings. Chatting about fiction over cocktails downtown or potluck gatherings at home! I'm hoping to keep the group small to create a fun, close-knit group of girlfriends.

The type of book club where you really just need an excuse for girl time. We will take turns choosing books and meet monthly to discuss the book and socialize. I am all for challenging my intellect, but sometimes I just want to have fun!

Let's talk about chick lit.! Background, what is this genre about? Chick Lit. is written by women, for women "Chick lit is smart, fun fiction for and/or about women of all ages.

This group is open to anyone interested in reading and discussing books that relate to feminism in some way – whether they are exploring the intersection of feminism and pop-culture (Bitch magazine-style), novels with feminist characters or themes, classics of the genre, or any book that lends itself to a good discussion from a feminist point of view. This is meant to be an inclusive group – anyone who identifies as feminist or wants to learn more is welcome! We generally try to read one book pe …

Hey Girl, I know you, you are not the girliest girl who ever was, in fact those girls tend to drive you a little nutty. You're smart, creative, and ambitious. Your interests may be in fashion design, but they may just as easily be in technology or finance. You're awesome and you know it! Maybe you're also a little embarrassed that yeah, you want to see that chick flick. Or the best book you've read this month was a trashy romance novel! Let's stop being embarrassed that we like our lady time! Le …

The Kitsap County Writers Group meets twice monthly in north Bremerton. The goal of the group is to be a source of encouragement, motivation, constructive criticism and learning for local writers. The monthly meetings are split between discussion and writing exercises for the first half, followed by a writing feedback ("critique") session. Read the Message Board and Files for an idea of how our meetings work, what constitutes a "critique," tips on writing and submitting your work, and more. Chec …

A meeting in New Westminster every second Wednesday from 7-10 PM effective Sept 5, 2012 with stories ready for critiquing by a valiant band of fellow, aspiring scribes. The mission is to get us writers out of our chairs (or into our chairs, rather) and put pen to paper. And moreover, to get our work primed and ready for publication. Plenty of great writers knew each other from their own writers' groups (Ginsberg, Kerouac and Burroughs anyone?) and there is a reason why they became great. Because …

Do you have ideas running through your mind all the time that you would like to put into a story that you might even be able to get published one day? Would you like to have others read your writing or listen to your ideas and give you feedback? Would you like to give feedback to other writers about their stories? If yes, then this is the group for you. Who knows, maybe we'll even make some friends in the process of improving our writing. That sure sounds good to me. We'll write for the first 45 …

This group is for women who want to become better fiction writers.  If you have a novel you are working on and would like to improve it, this is the place to get excellent feedback. This is not a drop-in critique group where you read whatever you have written to a bunch of strangers.  It is for serious writers. The goal of this meet-up is to create an ongoing group of women writers that offer support and constructive suggestions regarding plot, dialogue, and character development.  This is not a …

What is Story Lab? Story Lab is like an incubator for creative self expression when it comes to presenting to groups. People love when you tell stories rather than talk in concepts. Stories unlock understanding at deep levels, arouse emotional interest, entertain and motivate people to action in ways concepts never can. But, stories can be tricky to find, craft and deliver---so this event was designed to help you skill build over time. Who is Story Lab for? business owners wanting to present t …
