The Write Stuff
The group has places for up to eight members. Currently there are vacancies.
The group meets on the second Friday afternoon of the month, from 2pm to 4pm.
Experience needed: none
Group members submit a piece they are working on, one week prior to the meeting. Then at the meeting, other members offer a constructive critique of the work. The goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where a writer can receive some useful feedback from fellow writers. We critique the work, not the author.
We do not offer an opinion of whether or not we agree with the views expressed in the submission. However, if a material fact, such as a date or a person's name etcetera, appears to be incorrect, it is permissible to mention it, in order to save the author embarrassment down the road. We use common sense when it comes to acceptable submissions. Although we are not the Political Correctness Police, hate speech would not be acceptable.
We do not use writing prompts or exercises from a book. Monthly submissions are voluntary. Don't have anything to submit that month, all good.
Perhaps you'd like to use your time asking a question related to writing? All genres of the written word are welcome. We will maintain a fluid approach, adjusting our needs as the group evolves.
If you require additional information please contact us by email, ensuring your name and telephone are in the message.
