About us

We are a critique-based writing group for memoir, personal essay, and autobiographical fiction. We are peer-led, have no instructor, and do not work off prompts but with our own material. Members should have material ready to workshop and experience with peer critique in a workshop format. Please send a few sentences about your project, what you are looking for in a workshopping group, and any questions or comments to cambridge.writing.group@gmail.com. We will send you our complete workshopping guidelines so you can get a sense of whether the group might be a good fit for you. Thanks for your consideration!
As of January 2026, the group is still running, but meetings are no longer being organized through MeetUp. Please contact Elle at cambridge.writing.group@gmail.com for more information.
