Use this guide if you write fiction, memoir or poetry and want regular, honest feedback from other writers rather than friends who just say it is lovely. Have a short sample of your writing ready to share.
Step by step
Decide what kind of group you need
Write down what you want: deadlines to keep you writing, line-by-line critique, genre-specific feedback, or company. Choose between in-person groups, which often meet in libraries, cafés or community centres, and online groups, which suit rural areas and busy schedules. Ask your local library, adult education service or independent bookshop which groups already meet nearby.
