[close] Dear NYC Members, Seeing that OSS is a global book club, this chapter of Our Shared Shelf will serve to bring together the members who reside in New York City and it's neighboring areas. Of course, if you happen to come all the way from Guam, we'd welcome you into our group as well. :) Meet-Ups: We seem to be leaning towards meeting the first Sunday of each month to discuss the previous month's book. (Perhaps we can meet some time in-between as well?) We will keep this page updated as much as possible on meet-ups. We look forward to our next meeting and hopefully seeing some new faces! Please note that this is a location-specific chapter of OSS meant to organize NYC member meetups for discussion. You can find the official Our Shared Shelf good reads group by clicking here. The official group has all official announcements and global discussions related to the books and their topics. Happy Reading!

[close] This is the goodreads group for Smutty Book Club, an IRL group for people who enjoy reading and discussing smutty books! We meet the first Tuesday of the month at Nelly Spillane's Pub, 18 E 33rd St New York, NY 10016. 7pm! Each month we will choose a romance or erotica book to read and discuss. Join us for book discussions and drink specials. Bring your recommendations for upcoming months. See you soon at Smutty Book Club!

[close] For writers in NYC: A few friends and I have an established weekly writing group, but some of our members are moving away and/or have conflicts, so we are looking for a few new members. Two of us are applying to MFA programs currently, a few have published, and we have all studied writing extensively in college, graduate school, and courses through Sackett Street, Catapult, and Gotham. We are a mix of backgrounds, ages (all late 20s/ early 30s), and genders, and in addition to workshopping each other each week (typically 2 people each meeting, 20 pages max), we also like to drink wine, socialize, commiserate about our survival jobs, and gossip about our love lives. We are looking for literary fiction writers who want to be part of a fun and close-knit group while also seeking and offering serious feedback and support.  We meet weekly on Monday evenings in Chelsea, but our schedule is somewhat flexible.  If you are interested, please email us at chelseawritinggroup@gmail.com and include a brief sample of your work. We're excited to meet you!
