All word counts must be reported by noon on Thursdays—even zero word counts.

This group is designed to provide writers with immediate feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of their work.

Individuals are also welcome to observe if they're not ready to share their work for critique. Use the Events comments section to register that you wish to observe and that you have a 0-word count.

Meetup group members look forward to welcoming you to the group and reading your work.
