This group is for support for the nonfiction writer.  We have very different needs than fiction writers which we can support each other on.   Like any other writers' group, we can pass around samples of our writing for critique and feedback. I write in the area of personal growth, but any nonfiction writing is welcome.

Are you working on a non-fiction book, article, script or blog? Are you a fiction author inspired by factual events? Join the Arlington Creative Non-Fiction Writers for constructive critiques and networking opportunities! In addition to constructive feedback, we're also here to support each other in researching, writing, selling and publicizing our projects. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month. Join us at the Corner Bakery (2111 Wilson Blvd) just steps from the Courthouse Metro!
