CRITIQUE
GROUP RULES
The Critique Group meets after the regular Sisters in Crimemeeting on
the first Saturday of the month.
want to participate. Bring 5 copies of the first 5 pages of your work in
progress.
You do not need to have a piece of work
with you to participate. If you are not writing, you're certainly welcome
to attend. You may bring a chapter of a novel in progress, a finished
unpublished novel, or a short story. It makes no difference if it's
Chapter 1 or Chapter 101. The Critique Group will evaluate the chapter
presented. This is fiction only ... no poetry, no non-fiction, and no
creative non-fiction!
1. Bring multiple copies to distribute. After the piece is read and
critiqued, the copies will be returned to you with the everyone's notes.
2. The writer should read their own piece; however, you may ask someone
else to read for you.
3. Depending upon how many pieces there are to read, there may not be
time to get to all of them.
4. Before beginning, we'll review what constitutes an acceptable
criticism. Be warned ... this will not be a stroke group! If you need or
want stroking, then ask your mother to read your work. All criticism
will, however, be "craft" based.
5. If you plan on participating, please bring a pad of paper and pen to
make notes as the piece is read. If you're not making notes, then either
the piece is perfect (not likely) or you're not doing your fair share of
critiquing.
6. The work must stand on its own. Writers must not prefect the reading
with comments. After critiquing, the writer will be given 30 seconds to
respond.
7. If pain easily moves you to tears, please bring a handkerchief. |
