… Our goal is to develop a group that meets regularly to critique ongoing original writing projects (novels, novellas, short stories, etc- no fan fiction, please). This group will not focus on writing exercises, rather, we will share already written projects (or portions of projects in the case of longer works) for reading in advance, and then critique them at our meetings. Each meeting we will critique approximately 2 pieces, depending on length and availability, and pieces will be available in a …

For others, it will be a means of creating first drafts or potential areas to explore further. The basic structure is that I w …

The first half hour we introduce ourselves, discuss our work, and make goals for the week. Then we get right down to writing. Did you know that putting several writers to work in one space creates a kind of bubble of focus and productivity? It's pretty amazing. There is no ending point. People generally start wandering out arou …

The purpose of the group is to provide informative programs and networking opportunites for authors, publishers, editors, agents, designers, etc. to have a forum to learn and meet.
