As an organizer to a writer’s group, we have a number of would-be authors share their work for the review of their peers. We’re no expert by any sense of the word, but we all love reading. I compiled a few tips I thought might help writers who want their work critiqued to keep in [...]
One member who joined the group not long ago admitted that the driving to my house for the meetings was a bit too much for her. This is perfectly understanding these days considering the gas prices. I wasn’t offended at all when she opted to start her own group. Unfortunately, it takes more than general [...]
Any writer will tell you the terrible sense of apprehension you feel when showing a piece of work to someone else. Its a glimpse into the creative soul of a writer, as well as putting one’s skill under the scrutiny of someone else. When feedback is bad, this rips through a writer’s soft underbelly, exposing [...]
One of the things about Western Maryland is how anything worthwhile seems to happen to the busy part of the state; namely Baltimore and Washington D.C. So when I looked to find a writer’s group, the only one at the time comprised of already published authors. I hadn’t published a thing so that left me [...]

I decided to start my own group with the objective of allowing anyone who writes into the group. Some authors might argue that the expanse of differences in genre and skill won’t work, that the diversity is too broad. I disagree. In fact, its the very differences of skill that enables feedback and advice [...]
I think every writer would love to get nothing but great reviews on their work. Who wouldn’t want only positive feedback, when generally showing your work equates to exposing your very soul? In the real world, you will find critiques can be downright cruel at times, or at the least disappointing when someone doesn’t recognize [...]
Last year I promised myself that I would get published. I didn’t specify as to what or even how I would reach this goal, but I did, in fact, get published. Being unclear, this endeavor didn’t pan out as much as I had hoped. I published, and received payment for some articles through Associated Content. [...]
When I started looking around for a writer’s group to join, there was no big surprise that most of them are located near the city. Washington D.C. and Baltimore had a few, yet most were an hour’s drive with traffic reminiscent of a high speed video game. More importantly, they were not here.
