Not fond of the bar scene because you can't actually talk (where "talking" represents a genuine exchange of information of some nontrivial sort)? That's the idea behind this group. Hopefully, we can generate enough interest to get a bunch of people with …

What this group IS is meeting regularly with a professional writer and editor who will work on your book on all levels from genre choice to plot arcs to line-by-line edit …
