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)
