ABOUT
Our writers’ workshops run for eight weeks at a time, and they’re designed for serious writers who are committed to publishing their work. Previous publication isn’t a prerequisite; beginners are as welcome as professionals.
Each workshop is limited to six writers who agree to participate fully and enthusiastically.
We’ll meet once a week to share our current WIPs, offer constructive feedback, and discuss the business of publishing and promotion.

WRITERS WORKSHOP FORMAT
• Bring a maximum of 5 pages (double-spaced) to read out loud, with printed copies for the other members of the group.
• While you read, the rest of us will take notes.
• Each of us will offer at least one minute of feedback, but no more than three minutes of commentary.
• We’ll start with positive feedback, highlighting our favorite passages.
• We’ll follow that with questions, requests for clarification, and suggestions for improvements.
• We’ll never demand changes. Instead, our goal is simply to help you spot the strengths and weaknesses in your work, and serve as a sounding board during the creative process.
• While you listen to comments, take notes and be inspired. You don’t need to defend your writing, because we all understand that your work is still in progress.
• While we also understand that writing is personal, this is a professional group — and when you join, you promise to accept all comments and questions with patience and an open mind.
• On occasion, we’ll move beyond reading and critiquing to enjoy a group project or event.
