We are a group of experienced writers who enjoy the craft and understand critiquing the work and reading similarly published novels will only make our writing stronger. This group critiques the work (not the author) and points to the words/techniques that work great and the pieces/words/techniques that might need a little work because "it stops the reader and pulls them out of the story," or the tense shifted and it didn't appear to make sense, or is this the right point of view character (etc.). This group supports the forward progress of the first draft and the essential need for a rewrite.
Each member will focus on polishing one chapter a month or 2,500 words.
Members must have an outline (beginning, middle, end) or a first draft of the novel. Simply provide a quick summary of what you're working on and what you are looking for in a writers group.
Experience with writing and providing productive critiques as well as an openness to have your work critiqued.
No submissions for two months in a row.
