Critique Only Workshop
You have 10,000 first
drafts (okay maybe not 10,000...)
You have started many
stories and have yet to complete them.
You have a novel
you've been working on and need guidance.
If this sounds
familiar, then this critique only writers group and workshop is for you!
This workshop is all
about bringing work you've already created from first draft to
publication-ready.

runs in eight week cycles with a few weeks off between each session,
allowing for four sessions per group per year. Check our

evening for 2-1/2 to 3 hours per meeting.
We are located in

How the Critique-Only Group Works

critique-only group
concentrates on active feedback and critique of works-in-progress. We
may do the occasional improvisational writing exercises to get those creative
juices flowing but that is not the concentration of this group as it is in
our standard 8-week groups. This group a place to read your work and to get critical feedback from your
moderator and fellow group members on any
work in progress you chose to bring in.
