Critique groups are two-hour monthly meetings of 4-6 historical fiction writers plus me. Participants submit pages in advance and agree to critique other participants’ submissions in return. We will meet as a group, and each participant will receive 20-30 minutes of discussion on their submission.
Who could benefit from a Critique Group session?
Anyone who would like to harness the power of multiple eyes on their work at once. Critique groups are great because they bring multiple perspectives to your writing and often from authors in different stages of their careers. You can utilize a critique group for each chapter you write or just where you feel you need a little extra help—or even if you're working on a short story or a scholarly article.
My critique groups are particularly valuable to the histfic author because all of your fellow attendees are histfic authors as well. They understand the particular challenges you face.
