Speculative Fiction Critique Group
Location not specified yet*This group is only open to paid members of San Antonio Writers' Guild. See sanantoniowritersguild.org/membership for membership info*
Write sci-fi, fantasy, or any kind of speculative fiction? SAWG’s Monday night Speculative Fiction Critique Group might be the place for you!
How Does It Work?
SAWG’s Spec-Fic critique meetings are small-group focused with a rolling submission order (where everyone takes turns reading their material week-to-week). Two pieces are read every week, and there will be a table read, verbal critique, and a round-table discussion section. Submissions are handed out a week in advance to give members plenty of opportunity to preview the text and make line annotations and/or write critique letters if they so desire.We meet every Monday from 7-9 pm and are open only to current members of SAWG. To join SAWG, please click here!
If you are already a member and would like more information on our location or a copy of our full format, submission guidelines, and FAQ — feel free to request permission to join our private channel on the Discord, email sanantoniowgbusiness@gmail.com , or get in touch with a board member at one of our monthly meetings!
