“Fiction Critique Group
Feb 23 – Mar 30, 7-8:30pm
Age Group: 18+
Level: All
Do you want to receive considered, individualized feedback on your writing, but are tired of bothering your best friends and/or parents to read your stories? Or maybe you need more focused attention on things like grammar, plot structure, and characterization. Either way, our Adult Online Fiction Critique Workshop is for you!
This 6-week critique-style workshop is entirely participant-focused, meaning that participants submit their own writing for critique and receive feedback from the instructor and their peers. Each week, a docket of pieces will be sent to all of the participants, who will read the pieces and come to each session prepared to discuss the pieces. Advanced writing knowledge or education isn’t a requirement to give feedback–your opinion is more important than you may think!
This workshop will be a kind, considerate space. Anyone who’s participated in writing workshops before knows that, sometimes, things can get prickly. Given the vulnerability of submitting creative work for critique and the fact that everyone’s ego can only take so much, we at Write Pittsburgh go to great lengths to ensure that our feedback sessions are calm, respectful, helpful, and, you know, nice. We can all use a little bit more kindness in our lives, especially when we’re trying to get our writing to be the best version it can possibly be.”
