Hang Out & Write – Mission Hill

Writing is a hobby where you can spend years at it and still discover something new every week. This group is for people who enjoy that journey: writers who are curious, thoughtful, and interested in improving with the help of friends. Agenda: 11:00 - Get settled 11:15 - Tiny icebreaker 11:30 - Write and Chat 1:00 - Feel accomplished Location: The Tavern of Tales in Mission Hill. It's a board game bar and cafe. Ask the servers to point you over to the writers group. We're generally in the private rooms. Price: The tavern requires a $10 minimum purchase of food and drink (before tax, tip, and discounts). In exchange, we often get access to free private rooms and are usually allowed to linger until 2pm. Mass Transit and Parking: We’re right on the Orange Line! Plus, easy access to the 66 bus and the Southwest Corridor bike trail. Parking is free on Tremont St outside. Also try Smith St, Pontiac St, and Parker St. RSVP: RSVP if you want to be informed of cancellations or changes. Most of our regulars don't RSVP and get the news from our Discord instead.

About half of us are fantasy/sci-fi writers, while the other half write in diverse genres like non-fiction, historical fiction, memoir, etc. I usually recommend attending for 3 weeks in a row, as this seems to be the magic number for finding friends here. Do you do critiques? Yes and no. We find that critiques are better when done by people we know, for people we know. So, longtime members will often swap work with each other. Sometimes this is publicly announced, with everyone invited to critique, sometimes not. * RULES 1. Be a good listener**. Plenty of…
