Writing Share / Critique Workshop

Writing Group

Choose your own workshop experience - "Share and Critique", "Critique Only", or "Critique and Have Your Work Critiqued".

Share: Opt-in to share a limited number of pages with others and not receive a critique, but still become acquainted with the critique experience by participating in or observing the critique of those who opt to have their writing undergo a critique.

Critique: Opt-in to have a limited number of pages critiqued and participate in the critiques of others.

• RSVP Required: Participants must sign-up in advance. (Register online, in-person, or by phone by Monday, 11 Aug 2025 at 9 a.m., 723-5850).
• Please tell your writer friends about the opportunity. The more sign-ups we have the more likely it is we can hold a group.
• This workshop must have at least 5 people signed-up in advance, or it will be cancelled.
• Each author selecting the "Critique" option will have approximately 15 minutes (depending on how many authors are participating) for their critique and is responsible for their own copies.
• Each author selecting the "Share" option will have approximately 10 minutes to do their reading.
• Each author may bring up to five (5) pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, with 1-inch margins. Authors bringing more pages or works with more condensed spacing or font may be stopped in their readings at a best-estimate equivalent by the facilitator.
• Details as to how many copies to bring will be sent out via e-mail the week of the critique, after authors have registered for the critique. Each author is responsible for making copies of their own work.
  • Authors choosing the "Share" option do not need to bring copies for the whole group. They can just read (or have it read) aloud to the group.
  • Though we recommend authors choosing the "Critique" option distribute paper copies others can write on and refer back to during the critique, then return to the author, we are aware that in some instances an author may not be able to get copies made. Authors may opt to simply read their pages to the group and still get feedback some feedback.
• Workshops are signed-up for individually, not collectively.
• Access information: If you would like to attend via Zoom, please contact the library at least 24 hours prior to the event, 435-723-5850.
