Do you know of any writing groups in New Jersey?

Seeing as how I live on Long Island (and don't really know of any writing groups out here, though I have heard recommendations to check the postings at one's local library), I'm afraid that I am in no potions to now of any New Jersey writer's groups. Sorry! I have heard rumors of one associated with the Science Fiction Society there, but I cannot, personally, attest to the existence of it..

Lol, thanks anyway, Elizabeth :)

No problem. Good luck!
Ah, also, if you noticed, I sort of put something on Facebook too, reiterating your request. I actually do know people, who know people, who live in New Jersey. Can't hurt, right?

Excellent! Thanks, Elizabeth :)

Jon, I've got a friend that is a member of the Quick and Dirty Poets.

They meet in Mount Holly, which I can't remember if that's Camden County or which.

Nice one. Thanks, Ed :)

I looked into this group a little deeper, Ed, and I don't think I can include them after all. They're more of a promotional cooperative for folks already published, like the Philly Liars, or even the NJ Authors Network, as opposed to a regular writing group for aspiring poets.

The Liars have the Writer's Coffee House for the not yet (or not very) published. The Q&D poets don't seem to have an equivalent.

Thanks all the same for sharing the info. It's much appreciated :)
