What we’re about
Are you an experienced writer, accustomed to accepting and providing feedback, looking for like-minded people to help move toward publication?
If so, this may be the group for you.
Our process:
Unlike many critique groups, we do not read excerpts aloud during meetings. Rather, we submit our work electronically, prior to the actual meeting event. This allows time for thoughtful and detailed reviews.
Our meetings are the writer's opportunity to seek clarification, ask questions pertaining to received feedback, and offer up relevant points of craft for group discussion.
Our requirements:
- Your submission must be your original fiction in literature form. We do not accept scripts, screenplays, poetry, fan fiction, etc. All fiction genres are welcomed.
- Submissions must be approximately 500-5000 words. However, this word count may be adjusted monthly depending on the number of expected submissions.
- Though you may submit each month, submissions are not required.
- Though you aren't required to submit work, members are required to participate in the review process. Typically, we have 3-5 submissions each month. Don't expect to receive critiques without returning that favor to your fellow members.
- Regular attendance is required. Members absent for two or more group meetings, without notification of an organizer, may be removed.
- As we often review mature material, this group is for adults only. 18+ No exceptions.
- For membership consideration, you will be required to submit (via email) 1000-1500 words of your original fiction for group review to [fictionwritersolcg@gmail.com](mailto:fictionwritersolcg@gmail.com) .
- Submission guidelines are as follows:
MS Word or PDF, double-spaced, 12-point font.
