# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Writing Group - Readings and Social in SoHo - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 04 May, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Mon, 04 May, 2026 at 10:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: A free writing group hosted at the SoHo Playhouse - with readings, analysis, and socializing for writers in NYC looking to hone their craft.About this EventWelcome to the Writing Group! Our meetings are structured to build a broader literary community, while also providing a space for sharing work and providing constructive feedback. We balance the social aspect with a focus on encouraging members to produce more, better work, and giving both the pressure and the pleasure of having an audience to test that work out on.Link to our Meetup pageLink to our InstagramItineraryPeople are welcome starting at 6 o'clock, and you can come and write, drink, and socialize until 7 when we will start readings.At 7 o'clock we formally get together as a group to listen to readings from those looking for feedback.We do not select readers based on order of arrival or a sign-up sheet, so if you have work until late but still want to come and read, you can!Each reader gets five (5) minutes to read, so please select a section of work which is appropriate for that time limit.We welcome narrative prose (fiction and non-fiction), poetry, the occasional essay, and scripts (be they for screen or stage), so long as it is writing that you're serious about. Please no ad copy, journal entries, memes, musings, idea pitches, works where performance is more critical than the writing, or other errata. Nothing AI, if that needs saying.We'll then spend another five (5) minutes in discussion. This is time for the listeners to provide feedback on the reading and discussing the craft in general. We welcome (and encourage) constructive criticism, so long as it is done with respect. This is just as important as the reading, and is done as an open conversation not lead by the reader or the host, so no hand raising required!We try to get to as many people who want to read as we can, so if there are a lot of attendees we will be very strict on time.At 9 o'clock we finish readings and start our formal social hour. Meet new friends, connect with old ones, exchange longer works for review, or just let loose. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/8292e040-42df-11f1-8b44-9fb43287db39-rimg-w987-h740-dc040432-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/the-writing-group-readings-and-social-in-soho/100001988036546828 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: SoHo Playhouse - **lat**: 40.7265315 - **long**: -74.0043743 - **full address**: SoHo Playhouse, 15 Vandam Street, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Writing Group - Readings and Social in SoHo - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/d3a735b3256b8d836d85dae33c948a914486001fb2f99d87279e5694b9fc23eb-rimg-w1157-h872-dc040403-gmir.jpg?v=1777383614 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Writing Group - Readings and Social in SoHo being held? - **A:** The Writing Group - Readings and Social in SoHo takes place on Mon, 04 May, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Mon, 04 May, 2026 at 10:00 pm at SoHo Playhouse, 15 Vandam Street, New York, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Writing Group - Readings and Social in SoHo? - **A:** The Writing Group - Readings and Social in SoHo is organized by Edward. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
