A list of 89 writing group names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-02 and filed in five groups. Every name is made of the words of writing: ink, drafts, plots, stanzas and red pens. No name is a writers’ group named in the English Wikipedia articles Writing circle, Literary circle and Literary society, read on 2026-10-02, and none was taken from an author, a book, a magazine, a publisher or a writing challenge. Each name was searched on Wikipedia the same day, and a name found there as an organization, a show, a book, a song or an album was taken out. Compared with every other list on this site on 2026-10-02 and again on 2026-10-03: no name is repeated. The .com and .org address that each whole name spells was asked for on 2026-10-03 and every page that answered was read: a coined name in use there by a company, a band, a shop or a real group was taken out, and a plain term was kept. Plain words are shared widely, so a group somewhere may already use one of these names. One name in Poetry circles was replaced later on 2026-10-03, because its words were one word from the title of a television series, and the new name was given the same Wikipedia and address look-ups; nothing answered for it. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
