Brooklyn Writers Workshop


  • We are a small group of New York based writers supporting one another in bringing our projects to market.
  • We meet on the last Thursday of each month to discuss one to three projects and give silent author style critiques.
  • We meet in homes and bars in and around central Brooklyn.
  • If you are interested in checking us out, send an email with a short bio and a writing sample.

  • The Brooklyn Writers Workshop was founded and is maintained by the author Josh White.

    Meg Toth

    I am a fiction writer, editor, scholar, and educator based in Cleveland, Ohio. My short fiction has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize (2024 & 2025) and the PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers (2024). I am currently querying my first novel and working on my second, for which I’ve received residencies at The Wellstone Center in the Redwoods, Ragdale, the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (Alison Lurie Fellow). I also am a seasoned editor (15+ years), with experience in all stages of editing. I have worked with both scholars and creative writers to help them achieve their writing and publishing goals. I am currently Managing Editor of Early American Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal and an Assistant Editor at Conjunctions Magazine, where I read short fiction manuscripts. Before moving into writing and editing full time, I taught film, literature, and writing courses at Manhattan College (now Manhattan University) for over 15 years.
