How it Works
Members turn in 3 to 5 poems, or prose of 8 to 10 double-spaced 12-pt. Times New Roman pages: part of a book, a short story, article or essay to the leaders, via e-mail or regular mail, or hand off at the end of class. We also critique query letters, synopses and book proposals. The leader then does a line edit and comments in writing on the piece. At a subsequent meeting, the leader reads the piece aloud to the group the way the author wrote it.. We have found that it benefits the writer to hear someone else read the piece aloud. The writer often catches things he/she did not notice in written form. For longer pieces, we limit the amount read aloud to about 10 pages. |
