This is a writers' group where we get together regularly to critique our members' current work. We take on new members and would love for you to drop by, check us out, and see if our group is a good fit for you.
Up to 5 people can read and have their work critiqued at each session.
We are open to most genres, but the group mostly focuses on work that is personal in nature.
We recommend bringing ~2000 words, but you can use the time however works best for you, including talking about the process of writing, finding an editor, etc.
If there are workshop members who are unfamiliar with your project, please start with a brief overview of the project and where the pages you are going to read fit into the larger project.
Each presenter will have a minimum of 30 minutes to read their pages out loud and for group critique. Workshop members will get a copy of each presenter's pages so they can make notes during the critique. The copies are then given back to the presenter at the end of their critique.
Each critique is loosely divided into two sections: What is working? and What is confusing or needs to be explored more? After the critique there is time set aside for the presenter to respond with questions and clarifications.
• What to bring
If you are presenting, bring paper copies of your piece for everyone who has RSVPed.
• Important to know
Drop-ins are welcome, but the group works best when there is a core group of members who can commit to coming at least once a month.
Any spamming of the email list or harassment of members will result in immediate removal.
Anyone who is repeatedly disruptive or insulting to fellow writing group members will be asked to leave the group.
