Labor First Critique Night

September 1st, 2025 is Labor Day here in the United States. And this seems like a good time to remember as we transition to Autumn, that great fiction will not write itself. We have to put in the work. And never give up.

The labor must come first. If we do, then the rewards will surely follow.

So, in celebration of the joy of hard work and the delicious taste of a job well done, we shall meet for virtual critique on the evening of September 1st, 2025.

Both critique slots have been claimed at this time. We have submissions from Janie and J.P. to evaluate.

If you'd like to have your own fiction critiqued at a future meeting, AND you have attended at least one critique night in the last three (3) months, then you may secure one of our future critique slots for ten (10) double-spaced pages (12 pt. Times New Roman) of your new or recently-edited fiction, which needs constructive feedback, by sending a PM to one of our CFW admins here at our Meetup page, or at our private Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/215904102149512).

All others, we ask you to please attend and lend your ears and voices to the discussions. If you plan to attend: RSVP (very important!), Attend (very important), Hear the Pages, Share your Thoughts, and Help your fellow Writers. All of these too: very important !!!

See you all then! Long Live Critique !!!

P.S. We have no dues or fees, but we do have expenses (Meetup and Zoom are not free). Thanks to your generous contributions we have collected enough to cover all of 2024 and 2025. Thank you!!! We are unlikely to "pass the hat" until late 2025 early 2026. Thank goodness!!!
