WAWI Discussion groups
"I can't think of a riskier business than writing. Not only because so few succeed in conventional terms, with publication and some payment, but because it almost certainly requires banishment. First, there is the literal act of removing oneself, of choosing solitude. Then there is the psychological separation, holding oneself apart. And finally, the potential rejection of friends and family, critics and publishers. You don't have to be Philip Roth to incite the tribe. Far less incendiary portraits will forever taint your relations with loved ones. But you cannot censor yourself; successful writing never comes about through half-measures."

We have several discussion groups via email. The only topics which are definitely banned are ads and flames. You can join any of these by simply sending an email to the address listed:
Artists and Writers: This group is open to all who want to discuss writing, receive support and share resources. Because the events of our lives often influence our writing, we also discuss these influences. We try to include weekly themes as creative inspiration. The direction of the group is by consensus of the members. To join this group, send a blank email to Artists and Writers or visit the Artists and Writers Home Page
Feminist Publishing: This group is open to those who wish to discuss any aspect of publishing feminist views and information, including academic writing. To join this group, send a blank email to Feminist Publishing or visit the Feminist Publishing Home Page
