Retrofits Writers Group

Retrofits is NOT an official workshop of the MinnSpec writer's network, but we do post notices of our meetings here so that prospective members can find us.

The Retrofits writer's group has been in existence for about six years. Retrofits used to be associated with MISFITS, but is currently independent.

Here's how Retrofits works: any member may ask to have the rest of the group critique his/her work. The piece to be critiqued is to be forwarded to the facilitator at least one week in advance of the meeting (Though we are currently considering the possibility of posting stories here in the files section soon). We do a round robin style critique with members commenting verbally on the major things that they like and dislike about the work. Members often give the person being critiqued a written copy of the story with minor suggestions also.

Perspective members are welcome to sit in for a meeting or two. We are primarily oriented towards speculative fiction, but have also covered other types of writing for members.

Questions about Retrofits can be directed to Ricky Foos, who is MinnSpec's official liaison with the Retrofits writing group.
