The Cambridge/Somerville Speculative Fiction Writers Group (or CamberSpec for short) is for everyone writing speculative fiction: fantasy, science fiction, steampunk, alternate history, magical realism, horror ... any sort of fiction that takes the 'real' world and adds a little twist. We welcome novelists, short story writers, and writers of novellas. We are united by our love of this genre, not by the length of the work we produce. CamberSpec is open to writers at every stage of their careers, …

This is a group for writers who write speculative fiction- a very broad term that includes such genres as science fiction, fantasy, horror, steampunk, magical realism, etc. Speculative fiction includes such classics as Herbert's "Dune" and Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" series, beloved youth favorites such as C.S. Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia" and J.K Rowling's "Harry Potter" books, and even contemporary mainstream works, such as Audrey Niffenegger's "The Time Traveler's Wife" and Margaret Atwoo …

… Past meetups have particularly encouraged children and teen fiction. However, we now want to generally broaden the scope. Any works of fiction are encouraged, including novels, flash fiction, and even comics. Other creative writing would be considered. Our main interest is fiction, but, we fudge on that quite a bit. Many of our members express interest in writing books. We generally exclude poetry, technical writing, songwriting etc. Some people may have examples of mixed genres, so in that way …
Meet kindred book lovers in a local Meetup Book Club! Fiction or non-fiction, paperback or hardcover, you'll read a new book every month. Come to laugh, share stories and make new friends!
V.C. Andrews Book Club, anyone? As a teenager, her books both fascinated and frightened me; Andrews' stories read like horrific fairytales, gritty with no happy endings. While today's YA fiction focuses largely on dystopian societies, Andrews explored taboo subjects of our own society (and quite possibly, of her own strange mind). I think it would interesting to read her books again, in my late twenties, and see if they are still as scandalous and as much of a guilty pleasure as my 12 year old s …
A writing group. An accountability group. A lamenting and rending of garments group. Every. Single. Week. We'd love for you to join us! This is a basic get-it-done group. The first half hour we introduce ourselves, discuss our work, and make goals for the week. Then we get right down to writing. Did you know that putting several writers to work in one space creates a kind of bubble of focus and productivity? It's pretty amazing. There is no ending point. People generally start wandering out arou …

… We're interested in varying the types of movies we see: yes, we'll have the occasional beefcake sword-and-sandal epic, but then maybe a senstive Italian drama, or a dystopic science fiction flic, soon to be followed by something in creamy black and white from Golden Age Hollywood. And, of course, there'll be a few musicals. What should you do? Send us your ideas about movies you would like to see. Let us know about times, places, days that work or don't work for you. I am also an assistant …
