Red White and Boom Critique Meeting

Our beautiful, crazy, and often frustrating country is turning 250 this week. Ours is a nation built on principles of freedom, diversity, and creativity. Similar to writing a novel, sometimes we excel, sometimes we fall short, and occasionally our mistakes are our greatest triumphs.

It's time once more for a virtual critique on the evening of July 6th, 2026. Let's treat our prospective writers like hotdogs left on the grill too long.

Both critique slots have been claimed at this time. We have
submissions from Catherine and James A 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 !!!
