**Come find your Cville/Albemarle writing community!**

Meet with your fellow wordsmiths to offer and receive feedback on short stories or manuscript chapters. New members are always welcome. We meet in the Madison Room of the JMRL Central Library on Market St.

Scheduled presenters *and our backup presenter* should bring a printed copy of their work for each attendee, in the following format:

-strictly between 1,000-2,000 words (please note wordcount on page 1)

-1.5 line spacing

-line numbers noted on pages

-stapled or clipped together

If your writing tends towards short stories/flash fiction of fewer than 1,000 words, please bring two pieces (no more than two) that combine to fall within our wordcount range.

After a first observer-only meeting, new members will be allowed to participate as regular members in subsequent meetings, and will be invited to present their own work for critique after their third meeting.

To help cover fees charged by Meetup, an annual contribution of $15 will come due on your third meeting.

Attendance is capped at 13 critiquing members for each meeting, so please don't RSVP unless you have every intention of attending. If you find you won't be able to attend a meeting after having already RSVP'd, please remove your RSVP as soon as possible, but no later than 1pm the day of the meetup. Late RSVP changes may get you barred from the following meeting. Two No-Shows will result in removal from the group. Feel free to message James B with any special circumstances.

IMPORTANT: If you are waitlisted, you may still attend but won't get to participate fully. If you're not planning to attend please change your RSVP, so presenters have a good idea of how many copies to print. If you're waitlisted, don't change your RSVP and don't show, that counts as a No-Show.

After the meetup, we'll continue the conversation over a beverage of your choice at an establishment on the downtown mall.

And continue the conversation further online in our Discord Server. Contact James B for an invitation link.

**While our group meets at JMRL, we are neither affiliated with nor endorsed by the library.**

That's about it... see you at the Circle!
