Screenwriting : Starting a Writers Group - Advice? (NJ/Philly) by Scott Silvester

It's a haul from Trenton to Easton, PA but you are always welcome to join FIFO's group of filmmaking creatives, including our robust group of screenwriters who meet monthly and share their work inn between.

Hi Scott, there are some meetups groups where you can participate on- and off- line, for example: www.meetup.com/Cambridge-Screenwriters http://www.meetup.com/The-Scriptwriters-Network/ Regards, Jacklyn http://rbjal.com/

Scott, also, perhaps take a look through the Meetups section found in the upper menu bar. If you don't see a meetup being held in your area, perhaps organize one yourself. It's a great way to meet other writers. :)

I'm in two groups and neither one is local. We have members around the globe and we bounce simple ideas via email and review each others scripts via skype. I've only met one member face to face because he lives in my city but I know everyone else as though I had met them.

If you are trying to find writers groups in the Philly area there are a lot i'm actually part of one that's free and we meetup at Fergies Pub in CC here in Philly no cost its free.

Thanks, all! You've been helpful!

@Allen, are you saying some groups charge?

did you try www.upwork.com? there are script writers as well as a story consultants. easy to deal with

Hi Scott, just to add, you could also utilize the Connect feature and search our membership by location/occupation, reach out to specific people in your area. Of course you always have us, the Stage 32 community, to answers questions and offer encouragement. Best to you! :)
