"Online Critique Group"

with Martha Engber

About the Class:

During this online critique group conducted via a class website and group email, you’ll receive feedback on six crucial components of whatever you’re currently writing with the goal of helping you continue the development/rewrite process independently. The components include concept, character development, plot, narrative, dialogue and research. You’ll submit up to 1,000 words of your writing each week and get feedback from the instructor within four days. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with other writers and offer feedback to one another, mutually beneficial connections that have the potential to continue beyond this course.
