Xtreme Critique Weekend
It's the perfect writing get-away: a full weekend to focus on your writing and to connect with other writers.
You'll participate in five 3-hour critiquing sessions (each group will have six or fewer writers), receiving feedback from your session leaders as well as other attendees. You may decide to read and receive feedback on successive chapters or a novel or nonfiction manuscript, or share several essays or short stories.
Plus, you'll have a full weekend to interact with writing peers and professionals in a warm, non-competitive and nurturing environment!
