Ask Us Anything: Critique Partners & Writing Groups

  • This event has passed.
Our Ask Us Anything program gives writers the chance to ask WLT staff members and special guests any and all of their burning questions on a specific topic, both by submitting questions ahead of time and asking them during the live event. During the event, chat box chatter is encouraged, giving participants the chance to meet other writers.

Registration for this event is now closed. Join us for our livestream of this event on our Youtube channel.

It’s one of the writerly concerns we hear about most often: “How do I find a writing group?” “Where can I connect with a critique partner?”  “I want to share my work with other writers, help!”

We won’t pretend to have all of the answers when it comes to matchmaking (so much of it is about chemistry and being in the right place at the right time), but we’re going to do our best to provide some tips and insights into this often elusive and confounding pursuit.

RSVP and we’ll send you a link to join the webinar. And please consider sending in a question or two ahead of time – just fill out this form by 12 p.m. Thursday, May 27.
