*IN-PERSON* SF/F Group

**NOTE: WE WILL BE AT MOTORCO, IN THE PERFORMANCE HALL. ENTER THROUGH THE HALL THAT GOES BY THE RESTROOMS, TO THE BACK OF THE BAR. FREE PARKING MAY BE AVAILABLE IN THE LOT BEHIND ACCORDION CLUB, AND THE SIDE STREETS NEARBY. **

This sub-group focuses on Spec Fiction, meaning: Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror. If you have anything that falls under that category — be it short story, poem, novel-in-progress or screenplay — then come! We'd love to hear from you.

Our format allows each reader 15 minutes to present their work aloud, followed by approximately 20 minutes of feedback from the other attendees. To ensure fairness, each attendee is limited to 1 minute of Initial Feedback time. During that period, the author remains silent. Next, we have a 5 minute Free-For-All discussion about the work -- then the author may speak. (We usually get through three readers.)

If a reader elects to post their work in advance (NOT a requirement!), members will be able to access that work at our Google Group:
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/durham-sff-writers-group

We ask that participants keep their comments constructive and respectful, focusing on what works or doesn't work in the piece.

We also ask that readers provide a warning, both on the Google Group and during the meeting, if their story features content that some readers might find upsetting. This includes descriptions of violence or sexual content.

Readers are:
• James
• Bill
• Allegra

Backup Readers are:
• Steve
• Naveed
• Dara

Deep Backup:
• Brian

We meet every Tuesday at the same time, but alternate between In-Person and on Zoom. Members may attend both formats, if desired, but readers will be listed separately under the In-Person or Zoom weeks.
