Mythopoeic Society

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 currently sponsors Discussion Groups in thirteen different states in the U.S., with several additional groups in the process of forming.

If you are interested in creating a new Mythopoeic Society-sponsored discussion or special interest group, please complete our group charter form.
