writing group

Critique partner collective

A writing group is a regular gathering of writers who share work and provide feedback to one another.

Members typically read drafts aloud or distribute them beforehand, then offer critique and encouragement.

Writing groups range from informal circles of friends to structured workshops with specific rules about feedback.

I joined a writing group to stay motivated and get honest reactions to my stories.
