NUEA Programs for Writers
 
The NUEA has two programs for writers that meet monthly.

If you are writing features, shorts, television, the NUEA Writers Group meets monthly to read and give feedback on two scripts from writers in the group.  Not only is this a good way to get feedback on your own script, but reading and analyzing two scripts a month is a great way to learn by discussing what's working or not within a script.
