List of literary societies
A literary society is a group of people interested in literature. Often this refers to a society that wants to promote one genre of literature, e.g. the World Science Fiction Society, or a specific writer -- see, for example, the list of poetry groups and movements. Such societies typically engage in research about their chosen author or genre, publishing a newsletter and holding meetings to deliver papers. Many are overtly academic and scholarly.
Some are more social groups of individuals who appreciate a chance to discuss literature and the arts, or their favorite writer with others.American literary societies associated with colleges or universities
