Goals:
To maximize the effectiveness of our critique meetings, the group will exchange work in advance via email, allowing members to read the work prior to the meeting. Initially, members will email a portion of their work to the group moderator, who will distribute them to the group. The group moderator will schedule the review/critique for upcoming meetings. Meetings:
The Novel Evening Critique meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month at the Spencer Road Library from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. At each meeting the group will focus on the work from 2 to 3 members. The group will focus 30 to 45 minutes per piece, discussing clarity, characters, settings, descriptions, flow, order and overall readability. |
