The Writing Group Survival Guide presents the best way to create a respectful, productive critique group, discussing all the important details of finding a group, running a critique meeting, and building a group that will evolve with its members. This comprehensive guide goes beyond the basics, by providing detailed explanations and instructions for doing critiques, as well as benefiting from them. Each chapter, whether discussing plot or character or voice, teaches the writer how to read for a critique, how to learn from criticism, how to organize and prioritize feedback, how to revise based on the specific feedback they receive, and more. Perfect for writers and creative-writing students.
