Hi! I set this up after attending countless groups for adult writing and getting limited feedback for my young adult/children's writing. I KNOW I'm not the only YA/kids' writer out there, so I figured why not start my own group? :-D
I typically write fantasy & sci-fi for the 8 to 12-year-old audience.
I have one novel completed (working on revisions) and have another series on the drawing board. I also write shorts when the mood strikes me.
Not yet, but that's my goal!
This is my fourth critique group. I still attend all the others, I just find that I need weekly (or more) meetings to keep up with my writing.
It's the only way to quiet the voices in my head :-D

Welcome Jennifer! We are looking forward to giving you that motivation so that you can take couch potato off of your introduction! When would you like to come to the Meetup?
Hi, Jennifer. Just wanted to thank you for a great meeting tonight. I enjoyed our conversation - you have pulled together a group of really smart, fun people. I'm out of the country for the next meeting, but I'm excited for June. See you then!
Thanks for greeting, Jennifer! I RSVP-ed for April 17. Looking forward to meeting you then.
Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed the group on Wednesday. I hope I wasn't overly assertive in commenting on your piece. My overall impression was of powerful writing. The story became clear to me during the discussion. The presentation on marketing looked great. I had to go and care for the dogs, though. I didn't know what to expect, time-wise, so I planned for two hours. What is the normal time frame, or does it flex with whatever is going on??? Best, Karen
Hello again....I think I found all the right buttons. Looks like there is a wait list at this point. When I signed up two days ago there were two spots left. I presumed I filled one of them, but maybe not. So I should sit this one out? Does a notification post if a spot becomes vacant? Thank you, Karen
OK....I haven't used this format before....can you coach me a bit...it seems I am on a meetup page right now...where would I look to find the RSVP area? I thought I had left notes on the Writers Group page....Thank you!Karen
Hi Jennifer, Thanks for you note and do I RSVP to the group or to the restaurant? Obviously I can call the restaurant. Is there another way I should RSVP to the group? Thank you, Karen
Hi Jennifer and thank you for writing. I plan to join you this Wed. and am really looking forward to the evening! Karen
Hi Jennifer thanks for the welcome message. I'm looking forward to the meeting
