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 enjoy reading the numerous questions via Yahoo Answers on the subject of books and writing. I wish the site offered areas dedicated to just writing, or at the very least, move all the Twilight fans to their own section, but instead, the questions on books, authors, and writing all get meshed into a long [...]

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 [...]

In the real world, you will find critiques can be downright cruel at times, or at the least disappointing when someone doesn’t recognize [...]
Blogging is the art of online journaling by writing text and posting to a public forum. Writing daily is crucial to the writer’s craft, and what better way than to post for everyone to read online?
