What is the format of the Writer's Group?

The Writer's Group is designed to give writer's a chance to exchange information, ideas, support each other and gain feedback on their scripts. 

Past guests at the Writer's Group have included Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, Michael Palmieri, Jonathan Hensleigh, Barbara Macintosh and Kim Costello.  Reminder: Our guests are not to be solicited at the meeting.

The main meeting is not a class to teach you screenwriting.   Please review the Resources page for suggested websites, books, and glossary to help you learn the basics.
