Triangle Writers
|
Triangle Writers is a creative writing group in Raleigh-Durham with one goal: Get published.
I'm the founder and organizer of Triangle Writers, which has a team of event coordinators and more than 1,120 members. Pre-pandemic, writing critique groups met regularly in North Raleigh, downtown Raleigh, and West Cary. All groups now meet remotely until further notice. Some of the subgroups meet a few times each month to critique novels, memoirs, and short fiction. Some writers have traditionally published, others self-published, and a portion are seeking critiques before their debut book. The individual critique groups offer constructive criticism--feedback that writers can use to improve their work right away. The group is free to join and critique sessions meet at no charge. Special events and workshops have fees noted.

Living Poetry: Raleigh's largest poetry group
Raleigh poets at poetrySPARK
I help support Living Poetry, the largest group of poets in Raleigh. Events include open mics, poet lounges, workshops, and a poetry book club. Living Poetry does not require a membership fee.
In 2010, Tara Lynne organized Raleigh's first-ever Poetry on Demand Booth at poetrySPARK. More than 125 poems were written in under 3 minutes each based on random public prompts. One of her poems inspired a marriage proposal in 2011. In 2012, the couple returned to have their marriage ceremony at the festival. In 2013, many poems were written. No marriages reported. Or divorces.
