·         Is your critique group or partner giving you the help you need?
·         Do you know what to look for so you can give effective feedback?
Join us as we look at some brand new ways to sharpen self-editing and group critique skills that will improve everyone’s writing skills. After a short presentation, we’ll start with warm-up quizzes before moving into small groups for critique. Bring six copies of the first 1-2 pages of your current work-in-progress, a pencil and an open mind!  All levels and genres are welcome!
