Augusta Writer's Critique Group

This event is for writers looking to submit their manuscript for publication to a specific magazine, contest, literary agent, or publisher in the immediate future.

Submission guidelines:

• RSVP to event. Submissions from non-RSVP'd members will not be considered. Only attendees receive the join link and only attendees receive the submissions for critique.
• No more than 5000 words (if longer, mark where 5000 words ends in the doc)
• Include the link to the submission call on the title page of the manuscript.
• Submit manuscripts to mpankey310@gmail.com as an attached word document.
• Include "Polish to Publish" in your subject line so I know you are submitting to this event.
• Deadline: Wednesday prior to the scheduled meetup.
• NOTE: If you are actively submitting your novel-length manuscript to agents, you may submit the first 5000 words here for critique as well. Please include a link to the agency/agent you plan to query with your submission.

Critiques are accessed by participants via google drive. The link will be sent out by Thursday from meetup. **NOTE: this email contains a hyperlink and is frequently filtered to junk folders.

This is a collaborative critique. Please be courteous as you provide feedback, and prepare to discuss one main point about each submission during the meeting.

Please only submit if you have selected a publisher in mind to submit to. Most writers intend to eventually publish their writing. This event is for writers who plan to publish now and need that final polish to see their intention become a reality.

May the Muses inspire you always!

This is a weekly coffee hour for writers to connect and chat with other writers, share successes, setbacks, and encourage one another. Writing is full of challenges and thrills. This is our safe space to come together and chat about it!

This event is open to all writers, regardless of where you are in your journey.

Have a story you've been meaning to tell but just haven't gotten it out yet?

Whatever the reason, there's no judgment here! But it's time to start pounding out progress for that story.

Welcome to Weekly Writing Sprints!

Every week, we will meet via Google Meet and do a quick tag-up before hunkering down for the next two hours (if you can't stay the full time, that's okay!) and getting some progress done.

I've always found writing together motivating, especially when accountability is in play and I can visualize where I'm going. So! For this event, we will be using Trackbear to record our progress.

If you haven't used Trackbear, have no fear, I will go over how to set up your profile on this free writing app, how to configure your writing project to track your progress, and how to join the Weekly Writing Sprint Leaderboard so everyone can support and cheer each other on!

I'm super excited for this event series I hope to see you there!

We will have a 2 hour sit down and write session at Cafe Dulce. Bring your laptop or notebook and prepare to get writing!
