Mythopoeic Society

Discussion Groups

The Mythopoeic Society has members throughout the U.S. and in several foreign countries; the lucky ones are able to find other people interested in the Inklings, myth, and fantasy literature close enough geographically to meet on a regular basis. The Society sponsors Discussion Groups in several different states in the U.S., with a number of additional groups in the process of forming and active.

Groups are listed as Active or Inactive. Groups that wish to be listed in the Active category should regularly update the Secretary with their meeting and discussion plans.  Groups are also encouraged to share reports of their activities with the Secretary for inclusion in Mythprint.

Groups that wish to become active should contact the Secretary and inform her of their first meeting, topic, time, location and contact person.  Groups that have not yet chosen to become Chartered, or those who are interested in creating a new Mythopoeic Society-sponsored discussion or special interest group,  please complete our group charter form.
