Critique Workshop

NOTE: THE 9/28 MEETING HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO 10/5. No meeting on 9/28.

NO IN-PERSON MEETING. We will be meeting ONLINE on our Discord (you can see the link to our discord once you RSVP). Please make an account, set up your microphone or whatever you need, and be ready to voicechat at 2. RSVP so we know how many members to expect. If you are a first-time attendee, please message me beforehand so I can make sure you have access to the Discord!

Please read the submissions in advance and prepare with the following format in mind: First everyone but the author will discuss the piece for about ~15 minutes. Afterward everyone will be free to address the author, give direct feedback, ask the author questions, etc. for another ~15 minutes. Digital comments can be uploaded into the Submissions folder for that week so the writer can view them.

Sign up for critique here (limit 3 people per week plus one backup): (Submissions Sign-up). And submit your work here: 10/5/24 Submissions

Files should be double-spaced, PDFs (you can also submit both a PDF and .doc, since some people prefer one format over the other), and ≤25 pages. Please make a note at the top of your piece explaining what it is (a short story, a novel excerpt, etc) and anything in particular you would like us to critique for. Remember to submit by Wednesday 10/2/24, but THE EARLIER THE BETTER! This is to give people time to read and form responses to your work.

If you would like to review past submissions or catch up on previous chapters from a member's novel, the Drive folder for the group as a whole can be accessed here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SQTjMMCOhsRyzw-1MAPGl6kRwuxxZXO8?usp=sharing

Please also Venmo me $5 to help pay for Meetup's monthly fee, which has recently doubled (My Venmo name is @dana-berube). Don't forget to RSVP!!
