If you love to read and talk about books, this is the group for you. No assigned reading list -- choose your own books -- and share your thoughts with others. At our monthly meetups we discuss what we're reading and exchange books that we've already read. So plan to bring your extra books and swap them for ones you haven't yet read. In addition, we go to book sales, movies based on books, and other book-related activities. Sometimes we get together for happy hour, lunch, or dinner and have gre …

This is a book group for anyone interested in reading and discussing books. An Austin search revealed that most book groups in Austin are in the North, so those of us in the South area of the city need a group! We have been active for several months with 3-4 members but would love to have more people involved. Our choice of books is always up for discussion and member choice. We do like to choose books three or four months in advance so those ordering from places like Amazon can get them all in …

The South Austin Book Club for Women was founded one year ago. We are about reading great books that interest us. In the past year the group has read ten books, many of which have expanded our individual interests and tastes. Meeting others who like to read & discuss books, sharing other books, and forming new connections are just a few of the benefits. The group would like to add new members to increase our ranks and keep the discussions robust. At the same time, we wish to keep the group intim …

Who Am I? I wanted to make this group because I am so busy with kids and work that I am neglecting my favorite hobby: READING! Who Should Join? If you are a mom with young kids who loves to read and wants to make some close friends through the coming years, then this is the place for you!  I narrowed the area to Cedar Park/Leander so that none of us would have too far to drive.   You're welcome to join from other areas if you're willing to come up here for the meetings. What About The Books? T …

We are a start-up group looking for new members to form a young women's book club in south Austin. The full identity of this group will be formed as new members join. We are looking for women in their 20s and 30s who enjoy reading good books of various genres and want to expand their usual reading preferences.

Let's read the book and then watch the movie! Lots of great movies are based on books: Fried Green Tomatoes, The Shining, Wag the Dog, Trainspotting, Blade Runner, Munich... It's fun to experience both forms of storytelling.

Let's get together to discuss a different book each month, while exploring local pubs or restaurants. Books can include classics or new releases of various genres. I look forward to reading good books and enjoying the company of other book lovers.

Austin Writers is a meant as a source of positive reinforcement and community for writers of all kinds in the Austin area. During a regular month, we have 2 meetups; one in South Austin & one in North Austin. (I am in the process of expanding that to 4 meetups a month.) These will be discussion based where people bring examples of their current writing for sharing (read silently) and to spark discussion. The goal is simply to help foster a community of writers in Austin, and provide continuity …

Overview Most of the time, WriteByNight is hard at work providing customized writers' services to novices and professionals alike. But on select days and times, we draw the shades, turn off our ringers and open our doors to writers on the prowl for a quiet, comfy haven where they can write, read, collaborate or just kick back and dream. We’ve got a library, writing prompts, coffee and free Wi-Fi. What more could a writer ask for? Objective Write Here allows you to carve out much-needed writing …

Our goals as a group are to polish our manuscripts before sending them to our agents or editors; keep the pages flowing; improve our craft, especially by learning from each others' strengths; and above all, support each others' goals as writers.
