This group is designed to provide writers with immediate feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of their writing. Writers should bring 6-8 hard copies of their work to share with the group. The printed copies permit participants to make direct written comments, while the on site presence permits verbal comments. Stories, poems, essays, novel chapters or segments, non-fiction, fiction, how to topics, reviews, memoirs, screenplays, stage plays, scripts, are all acceptable genre. Keep every genre alive. 4-8 pages/[masked] words works well for this kind of session. Please know you word count when you arrive.

Individuals are also welcome to observe if they are not ready to share their work for critique.

The first 30 minutes (6:15 – 6:45 PM) is a social, get to know your fellow authors period. Readings and critiques begin promptly at 6:45 PM. During the sign-in period Moderators will divide the writers into 2-4 break-out groups of 4-6 authors. Please be sure to sign in so you will be included in a break-out group. Critique groups must end promptly by 8:55—building managers expect us to clear the building by 9:00 PM. so they can lock up and go home.

No food is available on the building site, however, a Sonic is directly across the street and several restaurants are located on Central Avenue. Snacks and beverages can be brought into the building. Parking is available on site.

We look forward to meeting you and reading your work.
