Popular Facebook Groups and Pages for Writers

If you're a writer and have a Facebook profile, chances are good that you're already a member of at least one writer's group. Facebook offers writers the benefit of being able to join several different groups all in one place. If you have more than one genre on your roster, you'll still be able to network with like-minded artists in one place.

 

Here are a few of the more prominent, well-populated groups that are available for membership on Facebook.

 

Writers of Non-fiction (1+K members)
A closed Facebook group, Writers of Non-fiction provides support, inspiration, motivation and connections to writers (or aspiring writers) of non-fiction. Whether you write articles, a blog, how-to, personal growth or website copy - this group is for you.

Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers, Readers, and Artists (1+K members)
