Welcome to:  Methodist's Creative  Writers  (a.k.a. MC Writers) We are a small writing community dedicated to learning craft, critiquing each other's work, and supporting each other's many writing endeavors.

* Membership is by application only. To apply please send 10 pages, double spaced, of a current work (or 3 recent poems) and a brief, no more than 1 page, single spaced biography to the group leader. Please mention any writing experience you have as well as your short term and long term writing goals. Applications should be sent to the group leader send application. Once approved for membership (the community votes on applications in order to approve membership), writers are required to join our group message board: group message board.

* We typically meet once a month on Sunday afternoons from 3 pm until 5:30 pm on the campus of Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina. For upcoming dates and meetings, members can check the group message board (at the link posted above). We also have a yearly Christmas party as well as occasional "Writers Night Out" dinners.

* We welcome published and unpublished writers, though please note that some of our members are published. Unpublished writers need to show that they are serious about writing, dedicated to learning craft, and are willing and open to detailed critiques. We accept fiction, nonfiction, poetry, plays, screenplays, short stories, flash fiction, writing for children and teens, and most genres, including horror, fantasy, and science fiction. We do not accept fetish writing, fan fiction, erotic works, or writing of a sexual nature that glorifies rape or abuse of any kind. We do not accept writing that glorifies animal abuse.
