Welcome to eWriters.org.  We are currently developing and testing a web site specifically for writers and writers' groups.  We want to include tools for writers to learn their craft, such as Ethnic and 'Sounds-Like' Character Generators, improved searches for Dictionaries, Synonyms, Antonyms, Word Etymology, Forums, a custom page for each writer to add and organize their writing links, and Todo Lists, Word Count Tools, and many more.  Until we get there, here is a writers' group that's a part of WriterBuddy, an excellent source for finding writer groups.


The Prose Nest


Are you looking for a small group of dedicated writers with which to share critiques and to discuss writing issues?  The Prose Nest, hosted by My Writer Buddy, is a small writer's critique group with the goal of each member becoming a published author.  Through critiques and focused weekly discussions, we aim to improve our skills in writing and marketing what we write.  If this sounds like the kind of group you're looking for, see our membership information below!

Or if you're still curious about what we have to offer, click on the Skeptic's Guide to The Prose Nest
