fiction workshop
Story critique group
A fiction workshop is a group setting where writers share their work and receive feedback from peers and instructors.
Participants typically read each other's stories in advance, then discuss strengths and weaknesses while the author listens.
The format dominates creative writing programs at universities: I submitted my short story to the fiction workshop.
The term also applies to standalone classes or writing groups using similar methods.
