Collective Nouns for Writers

I love collective nouns and, as a writer, was always disappointed that there is no official collective noun for a group of writers. Over the years I’ve made up a few and have collected many more in my travels through books on the subject of collective nouns and from various blogs and websites on the Internet. Here is a list of what I’ve found so far. If you have one that isn’t on the list, leave a comment and I’ll include it.
