NYC food writers' group
is anyone interested in joining a writers' group with an emphasis on food writing? I live in upper manhattan and would like to start a small group consisting of maybe four to six people that meets on a regular basis. the format would consist of bringing current pieces to meetings for reading and critiquing.

What are the qualifications and goals? Do you need to be a professional writer to participate or is it more for constructive criticism?

i'm not a professional food writer. i like to write and i like to write about food. i think that some of my work is potentially publishable. i've been in writers groups in the past and have found them to be stimulating and motivating.

I think this is a great idea and I'd be very interested as well.

do you know the newsbar on university place, between 12th and 13th? we could meet there.

that sounds fun. I have a lot of ideas about what food writing should and should not be, and I like to write (and of course like food). I would definitely be up for joining - sounds fun.

Should we start coordinating the details via email? I can be emailed off my website which is in my profile.
