South Seattle Fiction Writers Online

After the rise of Covid, we decided to switch these meetings to Online only. We may someday do in person meetings/Hybrid, but until further notice, we are strictly on Skype.

The bonus feature is, we are no longer exclusively Seattle-based. In fact, we're now nation-wide in membership-- International, in fact :-)

Please follow the link below and RSVP to participate

This meetup is designed to help new and experienced authors work on their (~5000 word) novel chapters, short stories, poetry, etc. Although we take our writing seriously... ourselves, not so much :-)

Newcomers and all attendees are always welcome, whether they're submitting or not.

We often meet socially to discuss writing and the business of writing before and after the official start and end times.

When we have a full house and six submissions, this meetup can go as long as 10:00pm but usually ends at or before 9:00. All submitters should plan on staying for the entire meeting.

Full submission guidelines here - read them carefully! (Newcomers should check the Submission Guidelines out below. You'll find the submission upload site within. Contact/PM leadership for Slack invite):

Submission Guidelines https://www.meetup.com/South-Seattle-Writers/messages/boards/thread/30390722

We take turns going through the files, giving feedback and critique of the files upload for that meeting

After the submission discussions and if we have time, we'll delve into writing related topics- publishing, story ideas, recommendations, etc.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact Dan, Alex or Ian.

Here's a long-form explanation of how our critique sessions work:

This meeting will use Skype. (link below)

We're going to be experimenting with short scene critiques. Anyone can bring in a scene up to approximately 1,000 words to read at the meeting.

Please come with specific, focused questions you'd like answered on your piece.

Be prepared to share your document on the screen and then read aloud.

Then we'll all give feedback. That's it! easy-peasy. People who just want to critique welcome. No pressure to submit at all!

Milford Style Critique http://cascadewriters.com/milford-style-workshopping/

This meeting is Online only and will use Skype (see link below)

This is a monthly meeting where we meet and discuss a full novel-length project.

```

This month we'll begin the beta read of Alex's book "The Polymath's Apprentice". This is book 4 of Alex's time-travel romance series. It is set mostly in Renaissance Italy and involves sapphic romance, automatons, the Inquisition, magic, witches, knights, and some juicy revelations about the authorship of Shakespeare's plays. The manuscript will be posted after the first of May for anyone who wants to read it and give feedback. (And even partial feedback is very valuable).
```

```

Private message Dan, Ian or Alex to get access to the current project if you need it.

Submitters should plan on reading at least two previous submissions before expecting their work to be presented on a given month.
