Seattle Writers Meet

Seattle Writers Meetup was founded in 2007 as a community of writers interested in helping each other keep the art of writing alive and interesting. The weekly feedback group has always met on Monday nights, and we've shared expertise, thoughts, and experiences with many.

Through the years, we've changed locations, grown in membership, and gone virtual. With the current state of things, we are evolving yet again. We are no longer using Meetup - the current owners are determined to run it into the ground.

So, Seattle Writers Meet is born. While we are based in Seattle, our virtual events are open to writers across the globe. And in the words of a past co-organizer, our mission is this:

"Who are we? We are the courageous wordsmiths who dare to place their dreamings onto the page. We are a group of writers dedicated to helping one another grow stronger and more confident in the craft of writing. We come from all walks of life, from infinite perspectives and backgrounds, and we are united in the goal to keep writing alive as an art form.

Why are we? This group was founded on the idea that great writing depends very little on whether or not it gets sold, or even published, and even LESS on whether or not that phrase or that comma are grammatically correct. We are GLOBAL ISSUE thinkers. Could the topic be more engaging? Does the dialogue flow naturally? Is the character developing, for the audience, the way the author intended? THESE are the questions we concern ourselves with."
