Fortnightly writing critique meeting on Zoom

This meeting will take place on Zoom. If this is your first Zoom meeting with us, please email writersgroupyork@gmail.com (RSVP to see this email address) before the meeting so we can share the Zoom access code and the pieces of writing that we will be discussing.

New members can join three meetings for free. After that, member fees are due. Please see our FAQs for details (link below).

What to expect:

Willing participants will have a chance to read out a piece of writing that they have been working on, in order to receive constructive feedback from the group. This is completely voluntary, and you are welcome to just listen/critique if you do not want to read that night. Writers will have 20 minutes to read their piece and receive feedback. We recommend reading for 5-10 minutes max so there is time for feedback; as a guide, we suggest you aim for 1000-1200 words of prose, one longish poem or two short poems. We expect to get through approx. 6 pieces an evening.
