If you like, bring some of your work to share. It's optional, but encouraged.

Printouts are nice so we can read along. You can read out loud, or we can all read silently.

Constructive Critique is encouraged, but optional (given and received). Prose, poetry, nonfiction, or pretty much anything is acceptable.

Let's help each other become better writers.

Meetup Announcement

(see below for more info) — The 'regular' afternoon venue is the meeting room of Cozy Diner restaurant, located at 1695 Mangrove Ave. in Chico, between E. 5th Ave. and E. 7th Ave. (MAP-Link), and the evening venue (when scheduled) is at announced locations.

NOTE:   This website is still mildly under construction.

The Chico Writers' Mastermind Group is a writers' group located in beautiful Chico, CA, and meets twice a month, usually every two weeks, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday, for about one to two hours (or longer) "during lunch", and usually starting between 1:00 and 1:30 pm, as location availability allows. The meetings last at least one hour, and often go over for those who can and want to stay longer, if the venue is available.

Although we welcome everyone, right now we are at a nice less-than-a-dozen (or so) semi-active members, which makes a nice meeting size. People come and go, and sometimes there are only a handful of us at a meeting. But there is usually room for more writers.

NOTE that we are trying out evening meetings, which look like they will be the second and fourth Wednesday of every month. (see venue info above) We are seeing how this goes, and hopefully people who cannot make the daytime meetings can make the evening meetings.

We welcome writers, authors, poets, artists, publishers, designers, playwrights, screenwriters, and creatives of all types. Works can be fiction of any genre, nonfiction, poetry, children's books, screenplays / scripts, plays, or others across the spectrum. Share your work, published or in-progress, ask for feedback, share information about all aspects of book publishing, and related subject areas, and generally interact with like-minded people in a friendly and supportive environment.
