Hello science fiction and fantasy writers! We'll meet up for 2 hours and workshop any story beats or writing you may be working on. Newbies and visitors welcome.

**LOCATION: Haraz Coffee House in Corktown on Church street.**
That's 1501 Church St. This little coffee shop recently opened near the corner of Michigan & Trumbull. Though it's a busy area, you can usually find free street parking nearby.

**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This is a casual workshop, and we should have time to cover up to two projects. The first 15 minutes of the meeting will be dedicated to saying hello, grabbing food, and waiting for latecomers. Then, we will spend 15-20 minutes reading before breaking into feedback.

If you're interested in presenting your writing, please:

* Prepare up to about 3,000 words or 10 double-spaced pages of your work.
* Bring at least six copies, or enough to share with all attendees (the RSVP count tends to go up last minute, so please bring more than enough).
* Upload a copy to an available workshop slot in our Discord's ["Our Writings" section](https://discord.gg/8aehQ8Fw58). If you only have paper copies, drop a message in one of the workshop slots instead. (This guarantees we have enough time to focus on each person's project)
* Explain what type of feedback you'd like from the workshop (character, structure, tone, prose, etc.).

If you'd like to share feedback, please:

* Share what you liked about the project.
* Follow the presenter's feedback expectations (e.g., if they'd like general structure feedback, please don't critique grammar).
* Ask questions about any elements you didn't understand.
* Keep your suggestions light (e.g., don't recommend that the writer "fix" anything that isn't broken).

Of course, if no one has anything to share, we can just relax and talk about writing. If this is your first time attending, we recommend sharing feedback before workshopping your own writing.
We're looking forward to yet another constructive workshop. Visit our [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/8aehQ8Fw58) to learn more and get in touch.
