Writing Critique Group
We all need a second pair of eyes. Why not have several people discuss your work… at once? Join our monthly Zoom writing critique group.
Receive live critiques from writers who are at your level.
We know writing can be a lonely time. Most of us work in cafes, libraries, and basement offices.
Not only will you gain feedback about your work in progress, but you’ll gain community.
Led by Anthony Trendl, writing counsel to executives and leaders worldwide.
Method
All fiction.
We employ the sandwich method. This enforces the fact that your writing is good, with an honest review in the middle.
Submissions are sent a week before via email.
Each reviewer offers an overall positive impression, then goes line-by-line through the submission.
While being critiqued, the writer is quiet. He or she listens, learning from each other. The next reviewer assesses the writing, and so on.
Word counts are specific to each group.
Disclosure: Rated PG. That means avoiding profanity and sex scenes. No disrespecting of religious beliefs. This allows us to draw in the widest range of writers. We reserve the right to ensure writers will be compatible with other writers, and that their work is suitable for our group.
